Oloyede said 100 had been approved as cut-off mark into polytechnics and colleges of education.
He explained that the aforementioned points were the minimum, but that does not mean institutions must comply with them.
He also said every tertiary institution must ensure its own minimum standard especially as it relates to institutional screening and grading in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination . “All institutions must abide by this minimum point. This means that no institution can go below the standard. “For the 15 private universities that demanded between 120 and 130 as minimum points, note that the 140 is sacrosanct and must not be violated.The board also said it would introduce an initiative called
“Bring Your Own Device” for the Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examinations and the Direct Entry examinations.
