Jamb Cut off Mark for Computer Science
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the cut-off marks for 2023/2024 admission into Nigerian Universities.
Candidates who wish to undertake the Computer Science programme must score at least 180 marks on their JAMB exam.
This is a significant increase from the 150 marks required for the 2021/2022 academic year.
The importance of Computer Science and the increasing demand for professionals with related degrees has necessitated the need to raise the cut-off mark.
Computer Science is a rapidly growing field, as cutting-edge technology offers exciting new possibilities and advancements, so the government requires individuals with a commitment to staying up-to-date with these new developments.
In practical terms, this means that the aspiring computer scientist will need to focus on their preparation and aim to score higher than 180 marks on the JAMB exam.
The candidate must have a good understanding of the fundamentals of Computer Science, as well as a comprehensive knowledge of the different aspects of the subject.
They should also have a good understanding of Mathematics, as the JAMB Mathematics section is closely linked to the Computer Science section.
Conclusion
Similarly, the candidate should be confident in their ability in problem-solving, analytical thinking and other key skills that are tested on the JAMB exam.
By raising the marks required for Computer Science, the government is ultimately making sure that candidates are more equipped to take on the programme.
