Joint Admissions Matriculation- BoardTwitter reacts to new JAMB cutoff marks

 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Tuesday in Abuja announced that it has pegged the minimum entry requirement into Nigerian universities for the 2015/16 academic year at 180 marks.
The body, however, said polytechnics and colleges of education, including innovative enterprise institutions awarding National Diploma are to admit undergraduate students with a minimum of 150 marks.
The decisions were taken during the 6th combined policy meeting of stakeholders of institutions awarding degrees and certificates.
There were many reactions to the new development on Twitter, and unsurprisingly, every single one showed JAMB's new move was not encouraging.
All the comments resonated one thing; our educational system is in for a further decline.
