READ FULL POLICY MEETING OUTCOME AND DECISION ON 2022 UTME ADMISSION CUT-OFF MARKS
The 2022 Policy meeting held on Thursday, 21st July, 2022, after a thorough consideration of the submissions of the minimum admissible scores received from all tiers of tertiary institutions in Nigeria, approved that each institution should use its own submitted minimum admission scores submitted for the 2022 admission exercise.
The meeting, directed that no candidate should however be considered for admission to any degree programme with a score of less than 140 or 100 for ND and NCE.
It is noteworthy that many of the degreeawarding institutions had fixed their own minimum at between 200 and 220 , while a few who had stipulated less than 140, 120 or 100 for degree, ND and NCE respectively were requested to upgrade their prescribed minimum score to the baseline decided by the meeting.
The Policy Meeting also agreed that institutions would be allowed to admit according to their submitted minimum score, no matter how high, while a general baseline score, which does not substitute the submitted high minimum score of some institutions, is adopted for each tier of institution by the meeting to ensure that no institution, no matter the pressure, admits below the minimum score.
The minimum score is a qualifying score agreed upon by institutions to allow candidates compete with others for admission consideration along with other qualifying criteria like the O'level and the score for post-UTME for institutions that still conduct such screening.
These scores are computed to successfully place the candidates. The Hon.Minister of Education, Mal.Adamu Adamu, who declared the meeting open said, " This 2022 Policy Meeting on Admissions is not just another annual routine as it comes with a lot of updates on the previously-agreed guidelines."
According to the Hon. Minister, the meeting would be consolidating on the successes of the last meeting.
He reiterated that the admission criteria agreed upon in previous exercises, would still apply and would be consequently circulated.
He charged all institutions to adhere strictly to these criteria and all others prescribed by their respective regulatory bodies such as the National Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), particularly, with regard to approved quotas, ratios and other specifications meant for improved quality, accountability and equity.
The Hon. Minister directed the Board to respect the peculiarity of each tertiary institutions especially where the exercise of any action by these institutions are in compliance with the guidelines.
At the same time, he directed that all applications for regular and non-regular admissions to tertiary institutions must be routed through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in conformity with its enabling law.
On underhand and illegal admissions, he maintained his position that as soon as the process for the condonement of undisclosed admissions is completed, necessary measures would be put in place to track and sanction all culpable Heads of Institutions irrespective of whether they are still in office or otherwise. He, therefore, directed a close watch on the 2021 and 2022 admission exercises with a view to identifying any violator for stricter punishment.
