On one hand, it makes sense since limited university spaces and rising applicants mean high cut-offs lock out many qualified students. But lowering scores too much raises concerns about academic standards and graduate quality.
The real issue may not be JAMB, but lack of capacity. With better funding and infrastructure, this debate wouldn’t keep coming up.
So the real question isn’t whether cut-offs should drop, but why university space is still so limited.
