The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has announced that
students awaiting their O’level results will no longer be able to secure
admission into higher institutions. In a statement by its spokesperson, JAMB
also announced the introduction of fourth choice of higher institution during
application by candidates. The statement reads thus : “In the cause of
conducting admission exercise, many institutions have admitted candidates on
merit only for them to discover that such candidates do not have qualified
O’levels results or the right combination for admission and had to delete and
start the process all over again. With this, they would have denied other
qualified candidates the opportunities for admissions.
This we are addressing by ensuring that no candidate is henceforth
recommended without his O’levels result being supplied. To achieve this, JAMB
will insist that candidates supply their result on its website during
registration or later, but before admissions commences for them to be
considered for admissions. We believe this will allow only qualified candidates
to be considered for admissions.“Candidates and their parents are also to note that the Board has restructured
the registration platform to allow for only one choice of Public University.
The new registration platform will now be first choice, second choice, third
choice and fourth choice and not most preferred, preferred etc as it was.
“Candidates’ first choice can be a College, University, Innovative Enterprises
Institutions or Polytechnic/Monotechnic.
However, if a candidate makes a Public University his first choice, he
will not have any public University to choose for 2nd, 3rd and 4th choice. He
will have on the remaining three choices, a College, a Polytechnic, Private
University and IEI’S.However, candidates for the 2017 UTME can now select NCE (College) or
ND (Polytechnic/Monotechnic) as their 1st choice up to 3rd choice and the 4th
IEI. They can select the IEI (Innovative Enterprise Institution, ND) as their
1st choice up to the 4th choice, but can only pick a public university once.
