How Schools fix their departmental cut-off marks

Prof Ishaq Oloyede, JAMB Registrar, emphasized that the aforementioned elements are the bare minimum, but that this does not imply that universities must fully adhere with them.

"Institutions have the freedom to set their own cut-off marks, but it must not be lower than the cut-off agreed upon at the policy meeting," he explained.

Prof Charles Esimone, Vice Chancellor of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, was among those who supported the proposal at the meeting.
