2017/2018 JAMB Cut-off Mark

It came as a marvel to many that the 2017 reduce-off marks for 2017 have been way underneath expectation.

Well, I wasn't all that amazed. Remember I told you guys before the reduce-off marks had been introduced that an exchange from the norm has to be anticipated. Some how, I had a slump that there has been going to be a change and I turned into rattling right.

Many are asking why the reduce-off marks are this low. According to JAMB, out of the total variety of applicants that participated in the examination, 23.8 percentage scored beneath one hundred sixty. Could that be the reason for placing the reduce-off marks that low? No one is aware of.

Someone stated it could be a way to pacify ASUU and get them to name off the strike; on account that low cut-off marks way extra applicants can buy the Post-UTME varieties of these universities and which means extra money for them.

However, if the currently brought Central Admission Processing System (CAPS), is whatever to head via, there might not be room for that.

The reduce cut-off marks manifestly will give candidates with low JAMB scores a risk to compete for admission if faculties come to a decision to lower their character cut-off marks as properly.

Nevertheless, applicants need to endure in mind that regardless of the reality that JAMB cut-off mark is 120 for universities. Most universities will now set their cut-off marks lower than 170. Unless for the sake of producing extra money.

Even if some universities appear to set their cut-off marks underneath one hundred seventy, do now not anticipate competitive ones to do the same.

You will agree with me that although JAMB reduces cut-off mark for universities is set at 150. You can't anticipate colleges like UNIBEN, UNILAG, UI, OAU and so on to head underneath 200. At least now not this year.

So for people with low JAMB ratings, if your college of desire is an aggressive one, you could need to replace to a much less competitive one to have a danger of gaining admission. Don't start hoping there can be chance which will gain admission in that aggressive faculty together with your low cut-off mark after all.

JAMB Change of institution is still on and will no longer close till admission manner has been concluded. That's an advantage.
