Universities would still have to screen applicants at the end of the admission process, using this point system. The Universities would charge the applicants fees for the screening. The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) has issued its guideline for admission process into Federal, State and Private Universities in Nigeria for the 2016/2017 Academic Session. The announcement followed a week of meeting with universities and other tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Here are eight things Nigerian students must understand from the new guidelines. 1. The new method uses a point system, which is divided into other processes. The board said, “ before a candidate can be considered for screening, he/she must have been given provisional admission by JAMB." 2. The second process, the board said, was the point system where admission would depend on the point tally of the candidate. “ JAMB’s provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith. The points are evenly spread out between your O’level and JAMB results to provide a level playing field for all. " 3. Any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10 points, the exam could be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate who has 2 sittings only gets 2 points. So this means that aspirants with only one result are at an advantage but only barely. 4. The next point grades fell into the O’level grades where each grade has it’s equivalent point; A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better the candidates’ grades, the better his or her chances of securing admission this year.
