JAMB rectified 400,000 admissions in one year

 In the last one year, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has regularised over 400,000 admissions for students who had scored below cut-off marks, among various irregularities, the board’s Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has said. Oloyede, who made the disclosure in an exclusive interview with _Saturday PUNCH _in Lagos on Friday, said many universities and other tertiary institutions had engaged in the irregular admission of candidates for 10 years.

The former vice-chancellor of the University of Ilorin also said within his first six weeks of resumption as the JAMB’s Registrar, at least 100 tertiary institutions had asked the board to regularise the admissions of 17, 160 students, who had similarly not been admitted the proper way.

He said such institutions had been making pronouncements on cut-off marks that they had failed to follow, adding that the recent lowering of cut-off marks for the board’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination from 180 to 120 and 100 would give schools the chance to do the right thing.
