UI defies JAMB, sets 200 as cut-off mark

Authorities of the University of Ibadan have jettisoned the 160 cut-off mark designed by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Examination for the 2019/2020 admission.
The varsity’s VC, Prof. Idowu Olayinka, said this in a statement.
He explained, “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.”
