For
some time now, the ratio of admitted students to the number of
applicants has been a serious concern to universities in the country,
admission seekers and their parents.
For
instance, out of the more than 103, 000 candidates that applied to
study in the University of Ilorin in the 2015/2016 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examinations (UTME), only 11, 057 could be admitted due to
the low admission quota granted the most subscribed university by the
regulatory bodies.
While
commenting on the rumour that the University of Ilorin had released its
cut-off marks for the 2016/2017 admission exercise, the Vice-Chancellor
disclosed that no institution in Nigeria will announce its cut-off mark
until the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the
National Universities Commission (NUC) determine the national cut-off
marks.
Prof. Ambali said that the
University of Ilorin would only announce its cut-off marks after the
meeting of all tertiary education institutions in the country with the
NUC and JAMB.
He, however, warned
desperate admission seekers to be wary of scammers, as the University of
Ilorin’s admission is not for sale. He said that the University
management has devised a very stiff punishment for any of its staff that
is caught engaging in such dirty deal.
