The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed in the just concluded sensitization programme on CAPS that apart from candidate's JAMB cut-off mark, there are other factors that determines whether a candidates gets admission.

These criteria comprise O'level result and other admission criteria the school may put in place.

Oloyede said that scoring higher than the minimum cut-off marks did not guarantee admission but made candidates eligible for admission consideration.

Oloyede mentioned that the cut-off mark by JAMB is only a threshold below which no institution can admit candidates.

Institutions have the right to determine their own general cut-off marks and departmental cut-off marks. However these cut-off marks must not be below the JAMB's minimum cut-off marks.

Explaining the responsibility of JAMB, Prof. Oloyede said "JAMB is not an examination body rather it is a ranking body. If there are enough spaces in the tertiary institutions there may not be need for UTME."
