The policy committee will announce the cut off points
at the end of the meeting.
“All stakeholders including vice-chancellors of
universities, rectors of polytechnics and mono-technics
and provosts of colleges of education would be in
attendance,” the statement said.
JAMB disclosed that it has sent to all institutions a soft
copy of printout of candidates who chose them. “This year, the Board has sent candidates who scored
100 and above in their JAMB to the institutions in its
flexible admission policy for institutions to determine
the suitability of the candidates in compliance with all
laid down rules and regulations as determined by the
proprietors of the institutions and approved by Senate of
the various schools.
“The Board will ensure that criteria set by Senate are
strictly adhered to by the institutions’ admission officers
and no shifting of goal posts in the middle of the
admission exercise.
“This is to guarantee fairness and equity to all
candidates.”
Meanwhile, the Registrar of JAMB, Ishaq Oloyede, has
advised owners of Computer-Based Test centres are up
to date ahead of the accreditation exercise for next
year.
Mr. Oloyede gave the advice during the foundation
laying ceremony for a 500-capacity twin CBT centre
being built by the Nigerian Communications
Commission, NCC, in Osogbo, Osun State. He said the board would not compromise on the 2018
accreditation exercise, stressing that having suitable
centres is the bedrock of conducting a smooth
examination.

“The 500-capacity twin CBT centre built by NCC in
compliance with presidential directive for NCC to build
such centres in each senatorial district was to bring the
centres closer to the candidates and also ensure
standard,” JAMB said in its statement.
“The Registrar urged the consultant to ensure that the
centre is built according to specification,” it concluded.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had previously reported that a
brilliant young man who performed excellently well in
both JAMB and WAEC is unable to further his
education in the university.
