UTME: Only 25% scored above 200, says Oloyede

The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, has said that 414,696 candidates, out of the 1,603,181 who sat for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, scored above 200.

The figure, according to him, translates to 25. 09 per cent.

This is against the 465,025 (27.00 per cent) of the 1, 606, 374 who scored above 200 in 2017.

The JAMB boss, however, said that 558, 673 candidates scored above 190; 739,490 above 180 and 956, 937 above 170 marks.

He revealed this on Tuesday during the Policy Meeting held at the newly inaugurated Bola Babalakin Auditorium in Gbongan, Osun State.

According to him, they are the minimum marks required while the cut-off marks are arrived at from the cumulative consideration of candidates’ scores or grades.

He added on other regulations guiding the process, “Every candidate is required to accept or reject his/her admission before the process is said to be completed.

“Candidates can now protest their admission status should they feel they are not fairly treated.”

  1. I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your blog.
    It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more
    enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often.
    Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Fantastic
    work!

  2. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as
    though you relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about,
    why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could
    be giving us something enlightening to read?

  4. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I
    find this matter to be actually something that I
    think I would never understand. It seems too complex and
    very broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

  5. Very great post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to mention that I have truly loved browsing your weblog posts.
    In any case I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I’m hoping you write once more very soon!

    дыбыстарды дұрыс айтуды қалыптастыру өз
    отыңды өшірме оралхан бөкей, өз отыңды өшірме талдау
