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...‎
