This was made known by JAMB Head of Media, Fabian Benjamin during a telephone chat with newsmen on Wednesday. The JAMB Registrar, Ishaq Oloyede, on the other hand has frowned at agitations for the reduction of JAMB Registration fees. According to him, the fee collected by JAMB is one of the lowest in the world. “Why are they not asking WAEC (to reduce fee)? Why are they not asking NECO? Why are they not asking NABTEB? Why JAMB?

JAMB Upgrades Cut-Off Marks for 2018 Admissions into Universities Reports reaching us suggests that JAMB has upgraded the Cut-Off Marks for Admissions into tertiary institutions as follows; Universities - 140, Polytechnics - 120, Colleges - 100, Institutes - 110. Please continue reading to see implications of this below. There's absolutely no need to panic about the upgrade in cut-off marks. As we reported earlier, the schools are absolutely responsible for releasing the final cut-off marks for taking Post-UTME in the institution. This information will be released as the school is releasing information about their post-UTME. This however means that no school will be able to take any candidate, who scores below the minimum JAMB score as categorised above. Please ensure you visit here on a daily basis to get Post-UTME updates from all schools. You will be able to track each school easily from here.

Image
General Post-UTME Dates for 1st & 2nd Choice Candidates - Must Read This is to inform you that the Vice Chancellors, Rectors of all tertiary institutions have agreed to conduct Post-UTME for 1st Choice Candidates between 2nd July to 16th October, 2018, while Post-UTME for 2nd Choice Candidates will commence between 17th October to 17th December. If we are to interpret these released dates literally, it simply means that all institutions will conduct two sets of Post-UTME Screenings. The first will be for those who selected the institution as 1st choice, and later, they will conduct for those who selected them as 2nd choice. No information was released about 3rd or 4th Choice Selections. We're not certain how these institutions intend to manage these screenings, or whether or not 1st choice candidates have more quota than 2nd choice candidates. We expect schools to be more transparent, and give explicit information about their conduct of Post-UTME Screening for this 2018/20
