The management of the University of Ibadan, UI, has rejected the 160 cut off mark approved by JAMB for the 2019 UTME, insisting on pegging its own cut off mark at 200.
Recall that the 19th Policy Meeting on Admissions to Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria approved 160 and above as the national minimum benchmark for admission for the year 2019 into public universities. The meeting held at Bola Babalakin Auditorium, Gbongan, Osun State, on Tuesday also approved 140 as minimum UTME score for admission into private universities.
For public polytechnic, 120 UTME score was approved, while 110 score was approved as the least score for admission into private polytechnic.
In a statement by the office of its Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, the institution 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, UI 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.”
