The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) has released the 2012 Unified Tertiary matriculation
Examination (UTME) national cut-off mark, to kick-start
admission processes into universities and other tertiary
institutions in the country.

The national cut-off mark for admissions to universities in
Nigeria for 2012/2013 academic session was fixed at 180,
while the board set 160 as the cut-off mark for admissions
into polytechnics, colleges of education and other diploma-
awarding institutions.

The cut-off points were decided in Abuja, on Monday, at the
2012 combined policy committee meeting on admissions to
degree-awarding institutions, National Diploma (ND), Nigeria
Certificate in Education (NCE) and National Innovation
Diploma-awarding institutions.

Minister of Education, Professor Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa’i,
who chaired the meeting, urged the various institutions to
adhere strictly to admission guidelines, which stipulated a
70:30 ratio for technology and non-technology for ND
programmes and 60:40 science/arts ratio for the
universities and colleges of education.

She also told them to observe the admission criteria of
merit, catchment area and educationally less developed
states in the Federal Government’s guidelines.
While commending JAMB for prompt release of the UTME
results, the minister urged all the tertiary institutions in the
country to establish e-testing centres, where the next
UTME could be conducted.

Meanwhile, the Registrar and Chief Executive of JAMB,
Professor ‘Dibu Ojerinde, speaking on the occasion, warned
private universities in the country against conduct of illegal
admissions of students.
