“Check Your Admission Status’ Next Week” Ojerinde To JAMB Candidates
The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board has
assured the Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination
candidates that they would
know their admission status by next week.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof.
Dibu Ojerinde, who
announced this in Lagos,
therefore urged them to
check the Internet next
week to confirm their proper placement in the
nation’s tertiary institutions.
He spoke on the sidelines of
the opening ceremony of the of a three-day Technical
Committee Meeting on 2014
Admissions to Tertiary
Institutions at the University of Lagos.
Ojerinde also announced that no fewer than 700, 000
candidates would secure
admission to the nation’s
tertiary institutions for the
2014/2015 academic session.
No fewer than 1.6m
candidates sat for the
examination, comprising the
Paper-Pencil Test, Dual Based
test and the Computer-Based Test last April and May.
According to him, the
National Universities
Commission, National Board
for Technical Education and
the National Commission of
Colleges of Education have this year increased the
carrying capacity of the
schools under their
superintendence.
Ojerinde, who had earlier
urged the participants of the
TCM to endeavour to
conclude the session on time,said the call became
imperative to enable the board to finalise its
admission process this year.
He added that the early
conclusion of the exercise,
especially the cut off marks
for candidates’ first-choice
universities, would also
prepare the board to make admission provisions for
other candidates in their
respective schools of second
choice. The JAMB boss added, “There is no gainsaying the fact that
the challenge of the rising
demand for access to tertiary institutions in Nigeria means
that the entry process must be well-managed and
seamless.
It is for this reason that the
Board expects every
institution to abide by the
admissions timetable as
already agreed upon at the
Policy Meeting of July 1, 2014.
“We must adhere strictly to
the guidelines which
stipulates a 60:40 Science/arts ratio, 45,35,20 of Federal ratio, 70:30 of Technology/non-Technology ratio, as well as the ratio of 40:40:20 (merit/catchment area/educationally less developed area) for state owned institutions.
“As a reminder, it has also
become imperative to stress
once more, that all
admissions for the 2014/ 2015 academic session will end on Friday, October 31, 2014.
All institutions are hereby
enjoined to adhere to the
stipulated date, as late
submissions will not be
entertained.”
