The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Ishaq Oloyede has on Friday listed eight conditions that tertiary institutions must follow when admitting students so as to ensure candidates are not mistreated by their preferred universities.

Oloyede, who spoke at Baze University, Jabi, Abuja said the only difference in this year’s admission process is the policy that there should be no written post- UTME test.

He insisted that as a referee, his agency would not allow arbitrariness by institutions in the admission process.

“JAMB will resist such arbitrariness and illegal introduction of extraneous factors which were not contained in the published advertisement made available to the candidates.

“We should be able to explain to every Nigerian child who had applied for admission, why he or she was not admitted into the institution of choice,” he said.

He added that the right of Senate or Academic Board of each institution on admissions of candidates is subject to the following conditions:

1. Guidelines stipulated by proprietors of the institutions

2. 60:40 (Science/Art) ratio for conventional universities

3. 80:20 (Science/Art) ratio for non- conventional universities

4. 70:30 (Technology/Non-technology) ratio for National Diploma Awarding Institutions

5. Use of 2016 JAMB, UTME results’ print-out for all candidates

6. Adherence to published subject combinations of various courses as specified by the Senate/Academic Board and included in the 2016 JAMB brochure

7. Adherence to the 2016 Admissions quota as prescribed by the Regulatory Bodies (NUC, NBTE, NCCE)

8. (For Federal universities) The quota stipulated by the Federal Executive Council concerning Merit, Catchment and Educationally less developed states, should be complied with.
