10 Universities with Low Cut-off Mark in Nigeria

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) who are responsible for regulating all processes regarding admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions has held their  cutoff points at 180 and also encouraged universities to further increase their points above the set mark.

This action taken by JAMB has made students with 180 or lesser points unable to gain admission into the university because of the high UTME score set by these institutions.

Lets take a step to know what cutoff mark is about.
