The massive failure of the JAMB UTME result in the year 2021 has highly affected the standards for JAMB.
JAMB is also known as Joint Admission Matriculation Board. The Joint Admission Matriculation Board is a body in Nigeria that conducts a compulsory examination for students aiming to broaden their knowledge and gain admission the higher university.
Getting into a university, especially a federal university without taking the JAMB examination i.e Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination is like building a castle in the air. Maybe it might be possible someday, but it is quite impossible now.
UTME was designed to help and test the critical thinking of students to know if they are qualified to continue the journey into the university. The exam was commenced in Nigeria in the year 1970s to filter out students who are not critical enough in their thinking after all, unlike other examinations, cheating is quite difficult if not impossible.
This computer-based examination has also been a great method to select the best of the best.
There is a standard or rather, a particular average mark a student must have in his or her Jamb exam before he or she can gain admission to any higher academic tertiary institution in Nigeria e.g. college of education, polytechnic as well university.
Although each course of study has a particular cut-off mark for you to be able to study the course, you must also have no less than a particular score the Jamb has laid down. The score varies each year and the factor for determining the score dependently lies on the result of the previous year.
The result of the 2021 Jamb was low and not satisfactory hence, the cut-off mark for 2022 has been reduced. The cut-off mark happening currently being released as the examination is around the corner hence the Joint admission matriculation board is trying its possible best to prepare the students minds and beforehand so they would know how to work hard and prepare for the examination.
In this article, the Jamb cut off mark for the federal universities in Nigeria will be discussed as the cut off mark for each school may vary.
