Jamb Modifies Procedures For 2016/2017 Admission Seekers by outlandra(m): 6:19pm On Oct 27, 2015 |
The Chief Information Officer of the board, Dr.
Fabian Benjamin , made this known in an
exclusive interview with The Nigerian Eye on
Monday 26th of October.
He said the board has therefore introduced the
“preferred choice” platform in its portal to
enable candidates to have wider opportunities
of securing admission.
TAKE THE TEST: How much do you know
about Nigeria's University system »
The sale of admission form for the session
commenced on September 30 and it will end
on January 30, 2016.
He said:
“What we did initially was that you only have
one choice. Now, we have made it in such a
way that if you miss the University of Lagos;
University of Nigeria, Nsukka; Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and Ahmadu Bello
University, Zaira, you will have an opportunity
of going to another school.
Before, all universities will be in first and
second choice and that will not solve any
problem. We have now decided to put a few of
those schools we feel will have more spaces as
more preferred.
Institutions placed on the more preferred
choice are those that are mostly not
oversubscribed. This is because it will not
make any sense if you place institutions like
the ABU, UNILAG, OAU and UNN, when in
actual sense they cannot even admit one third
of the candidates that will choose them as
most preferred.”
The board, in the 2015/16 session, had
arbitrarily redistributed admission seekers to
universities other than their first choice
institutions, a development many parents and
candidates kicked against.
JAMB had claimed that the redistributing policy
was to accommodate more candidates, reduce
wastage of admission opportunities as well as
the stress parents and candidates go through in
seeking placement in schools.
No fewer than 1.5million candidates sit for the
Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination for
about 500,000 admission spaces annually. |
