The Registrar of JAMB,Prof. Ishaq Oloyede,emphasized the need for
every tertiary institution to ensure its own minimum standard, especially as it relates to institutional screening and grading in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE).
Prof. Oloyede noted noted that 140 is sacrosanct and must not be violated, revealing that the system put in place will not recognize any score below the minimum requirements.
The Registrar further advised institutions not to collect more than N2,000 as screening fees from candidates.
