JAMB BACKS-OFF ON ITS NEWLY ADOPTED POLICY

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB has back-off on its new policy adopted on
July 14 to redistribute candidates to universities.

JAMB’s Public Relation Officer, Mr. Benjamin Fabian who disclosed this to Vanguard Tuesday in a telephone conversations said: ”Candidates should go and write the post-UTME in their institutions of first choices.”

He, however noted that after the post-UTME in their universities of first choice, if necessary, JAMB is still going to redistribute them.

He said: “When they write the post-UTME in the schools of their first choices, they may wish to consider the other places we have taken them to for admissions.

”The reason is that if they don’t get admission in their first choices institution, they will get in the second.”

He explained that JAMB’s effort in redistributing
candidates was only geared towards helping candidates of over-subscribed institutions gain
admission to other federal or state universities rather than wasting their scores.

You will recalled that JAMB had last week
announced its new policy to redistributes
candidates to universities other than their first choice.

The development which generated sharp criticism from stakeholders almost paralysed some of the
most sought after universities in the country.

Candidates Who were ineligible for Post Utme before, are advice to visit their respective first choice institutions and process their post utme if in process.

Details of the candidates will be sent to their respective first choice institutions... Candidates are advised to exercise patience as the uploading process might take time...
