By Dayo AdesuluThe 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.
