JAMB confirms criteria for admission into Nigerian universities

editor

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has come out to explain that the point system copied from its website as criteria for admission into tertiary institutions in the country and currently circulating was a mere illustration.

This was contained in a statement by the Board and signed by its Head, Media and Information, Mr. Fabian Benjamin on Sunday in Lagos.

It said as against what was feeding the public, the Federal Government had approved the re-enforcement of admission guideline as recognised by law.

According to the statement, the admission of candidates into tertiary institutions will be based purely on three pillars namely: merit, catchment and educationally less developed states.

It further explained that the point system that was wrongfully copied from the board’s website and currently being circulated by some media houses was used for illustration by the Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde.

“Sequel to the recent workshop convened by the Minister of Education on the modality for 2016 admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria, the Federal Government approved the re-enforcement of admissions guideline recognised by law.

“This is following the cancellation of the post Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

“This is not the point system as widely circulated in some media.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the board wishes to state clearly that the point system is an illustration by the Registrar of JAMB.

“It is meant to demonstrate how a few institutions were using the point system to select candidates while some of their counterparts were subjecting candidates to written test.

“The illustrations are contained in a paper presented by the registrar and placed on our website and was adopted by the media wrongly as the 2016 guideline for admission,’’ the statement said.

It added that the 2016 admissions would be conducted purely on the three existing admission pillars of merit, catchment area and educationally less developed states through the following process.

According to the statement, firstly, a list of candidates who qualified for screening into individual institutions based on the three stipulated criteria will be presented.

It added that such screening did not demand for another test in any form, written, oral or electronic adding that the candidates are to present their Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results/Advanced Level (AL) results for verification and clearing purposes.

It noted that WAEC, NECO and NBTE results or its equivalent were acceptable as matriculation requirements.

The statement added that each candidate was expected to have a minimum of five credits at SSCE, including English, Mathematics and any other three relevant subjects to his or her discipline.

It said that the list of qualified candidates awaiting SSCE/AL results could be kept in view pending the release of their results.

“Any candidate that does not possess the requirements as listed above is deemed to have failed the screening.

“Consideration of the recommended list as forward by JAMB should be completed within one month from the date of receipt of the list.

“Any institution that has a shortfall in the admitted candidates could make-up for candidates from other departments on the institutions list.

“Reasons for rejection of candidates on the list should be clearly stated with proof provided alongside.

“This is imperative so that the general public will note the correct process,’’ the statement said.

The statement concluded that the government had directed that the guidelines must be strictly adhered to without any alterations.

  • Thanks for the something totally new you have uncovered in your post. One thing I would really like to discuss is that FSBO interactions are built as time passes. By introducing yourself to the owners the first saturday their FSBO is actually announced, before the masses start out calling on Wednesday, you make a good connection. By mailing them instruments, educational products, free reviews, and forms, you become a strong ally. If you take a personal curiosity about them in addition to their predicament, you build a solid interconnection that, on many occasions, pays off when the owners opt with an adviser they know as well as trust — preferably you actually.

  • Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.

  • The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
