Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board, JAMB modified the registration
procedure for students seeking admission
for the 2016/2017 academic session.
The modification according to JAMB, will
lessen competition among candidates
seeking placement to the nation’s
“oversubscribed” universities.
According to Dr Fabian Benjamin, the chief
information officer of the board, JAMB has
introduced “preferred choice” platform in
its portal. This new addition will enable
candidates have wider opportunities of
securing admission.
“What we did initially was that you only
have one choice. Now, we have made it in
such a way that if you miss the University
of Lagos; University of Nigeria, Nsukka;
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaira, you will
have an opportunity of going to another
school.
“Before, all universities will be in first and
second choice and that will not solve any
problem. We have now decided to put a
few of those schools we feel will have
more spaces as more preferred.
“Institutions placed on the more
preferred choice are those that are mostly
not oversubscribed. This is because it will
not make any sense if you place
institutions like the ABU, UNILAG, OAU
and UNN, when in actual sense they
cannot even admit one third of the
candidates that will choose them as most
preferred,” he said.
For proper guidance during registration,
make sure you patronize JAMB Certified
Registration Centres.
