Jamb Scraps Awaiting Results, Includes 4th Choice by philpwresh(m): 6:51am On Mar 01, 2017 |
We sincerely appreciate the
patience exhibited by Nigerians in
allowing us take time to add value
to the services we have been
offering to Nigerians for over three
decades.
Because we need a different and
progressive result that will position
Nigerian educational system in an
enviable height in the comity of
nations, then we must do things
differently. The Board is poised to
see that a reasonable percentage
of candidates who take this
examination and are qualified find
placement in tertiary institutions.
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.
We have designed a Central
Admissions Processing System
(CAPS) where the Board will
interface with the institutions and
ensure the compliance of this
reform. The summary is that no
candidate will be admitted with
awaiting result. 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.
This restructuring is to expand the
opportunities available to
candidates as almost all the public
universities do not consider
candidates on the second choice
list because they hardly exhaust
their first choice.
The registration of UTME this year
will go side by side with the Direct
Entry and during registration,
candidates 10 fingeare to be
captured using Biometric
Verification Machine (BVN).
Again, we want to inform
candidates that no cyber café will
be registering candidates for our
examination. On no account should
any candidate patronize any
cybercafé for our registration. It is
important to note that the Board
will not deploy the use of any
scratch card for the 2017 UTME
registration exercise. |
