The 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, recorded poor performance by the candidates.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by the Board after its Policy Meeting in Abuja.
The statement revealed that the performance was a far cry from the 404, 740 that scored over 200 out of the 1.9 million that sat for the examination in 2020.
With JAMB now allowing institutions to fix their own cut-off marks, majority of those that may be admitted could fall within the range of those who scored 140 and above.
