UI Admission Cut Off Mark Remains 200 – Management

UI Admission Cut Off Mark Remains 200 from the management of University of Ibadan

The management of the University of Ibadan has declared the cut-off mark for the premier institution remains 200 as against 160 agreed on by the Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) and stakeholders of higher institutions.

Following the announcement by JAMB on Tuesday that 2019 cut-off mark for admission into federal universities is 160, many educationists criticized the cut-off mark, describing it as ridiculously low and a further indication of the falling standard of education.

UI, on its part, said it will have nothing to do with the national minimum cut-off mark.

In a statement by the Vice-Chancellor of University of Ibadan (UI), Prof. Idowu Olayinka, said:

For the avoidance of doubts in the minds of our prospective admission seekers, their parents and guardians, our alumni and alumnae and the general public, the minimum mark for any course at the University of Ibadan, and all its Affiliated Institutions, remains 200 out of the maximum of 400.

This has been the position of the Senate of the University since the matriculation examinations into Nigerian Universities commenced in 1978.
