The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board says it will release the cut-off marks for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on June 2.

The board said on Monday that it would hold a policy meeting on the said date to deliberate on the issue.

The spokesperson for JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made this known in a statement obtained by our correspondent.

According to Benjamin, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, will chair the meeting, which will set the tone for the exercise.

Benjamin said, “This year’s meeting has been scheduled to hold on June 2. Nationally accepted cut-off marks would be decided and issued. The Federal Government’s guidelines and regulations would be articulated and decision taken even as it X-rays the performance of subsequent years to put checks and balances.

“The important meeting will have policy makers, heads of all tertiary institutions, vice-chancellors, rectors, provosts, registrars and stakeholders from the National Universities Commission, National Youth Service Corps and others in attendance.

“JAMB commends the minister for his efforts at sanitising the education sector and ensuring that the lost glory of education is restored. These efforts would no doubt manifest great results in no distant time.

“JAMB wishes to use this medium to urge the public to follow this process keenly and note that cut-off marks in particular are as usual a minimum score-pruning mechanisms. Institutions are at liberty to go higher depending on their peculiarities.”
