JAMB to commence 2019/2020 UTME registration in January - Board

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Sunday announced the withdrawal of the 2016 admission list earlier sent to all tertiary institutions in the country.

In a statement signed by the Board’s Public Relations Officer, Dr Fabian Benjamin, the board said institutions are now to make their own list to JAMB in-line with Federal Government’s guideline on admissions.

“This is to ensure that the University Senate perform its statutory responsibility of conducting the selection of candidates and refer it to JAMB for confirmation in line with the admission criteria of merit, catchment and educationally disadvantaged states as directed by the Hon Minister of Education at the Policy Committee Meeting.

“The earlier list was sent to help fast track the process of admission so as to allow other tiers of institutions also conduct their admission.

“Candidates should not panic because this is part of the process of the 2016 admission exercise. JAMB regrets any inconvenience this decision would have caused the tertiary institutions

“The Board regrets any inconvenience it’s proactive step would have caused the tertiary institutions.
