The Joint Enrollment and Registration Board (JAMB) has issued court marks for Nigerian tertiary institutions, while lifting the ban on post-UTME testing.
Premium Times reports that these decisions were adopted at the Combined Policy Meetings on Income in Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria, which ended on Tuesday, August 22.

However, institutions were allowed to raise their cut marks above the JAMB stipulation.
It was also agreed that admissions in public institutions for the 2014 UTME qualification will end on January 15, 2018, while private institutions will finish theirs on January 31, 2018.
It was also revealed that decisions on first-choice candidates by universities are expected to be complete October 15 and the second-choice candidates will end in December.
The rest of the students seeking admission will be available to other institutions until the closing dates of January.
Ishaq Oloyede, who is the JAMB registrar said that a central admission processing system (CAPS) will be used to streamline admission processes between institutions based on the challenges associated with the previous approach.
He said: "Around the world there is agitation for a dynamic educational policy," he said. "JAMB only admits for the National Diploma, not the National Superior Diploma, so why should we use the same requirement for ND and BSC, which is unreasonable parity."
"We should not be sentimental in fixing our brand cut, we do not have to over-dramatize the brand's cut-off topic."
He noted that the number of people seeking to enter study agriculture had declined, while those in medicine and health sciences had increased.
He also talked about illegal admissions by saying that the new process allows the registrar to approve all candidates.
"Approximately 17,160 students were admitted without JAMB through institutions in Nigeria."
The Federal Government explained that all tertiary institutions were free to conduct screening tests for candidates seeking admission to any school.
