2018 UTME: JAMB speaks on admission cut-off marks

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has spoken on the
purported cut-off marks being circulated in some section of the media.

The board's Head of Media and Information Department, Dr Fabian
Benjamin debunked the report saying no cut-off mark whether for
programmes or institutions had been released by JAMB.

Benjamin announced that cut off marks would be disclosed sometime in
June after policy meeting.

He warned that any institution that begins admission process before
the policy meeting would be acting illegally and that it would attract
consequences.

In a statement, Benjamin said "we want to seize this medium to debunk
such rumours as they are malicious and wicked as they are designed to
defraud innocent Nigerians, especially parents and guardians as well
as other stakeholders.

"No cut-off marks will ever be decided upon without the usual policy
meeting which has been scheduled to hold sometime in June and which is
to be chaired by the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu.

"Until that is done, every other thing that is being paraded as
cut-off mark is fictitious and therefore, the public is hereby warned
not to fall prey to these fraudsters.

"In the same vein, any institution that has commenced any form of
admission without the official cut-off mark as would be decided upon
at the June policy meeting is doing so illegally.
