No written test for 2016 Post UTME admission - JAMB Registrar

The registrar, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-Haq O. Oloyede has said that admission into the e Federal tertiary institutions in the country must comply with the national policy.

Speaking yesterday, August 22 in Kano, Oloyede warned that no candidate must emanate from any other source (JAMB inclusive), outside the list prepared and recommended by the institutions.

Oloyede said this during he First Technical Committee on admission to First Choice Institutions held at the Bayero University, Kano (BUK).

He said that the Senate/ Academic of each institution has the prerogative of admitting candidates, “but this must be in adherence to the national policy.

He added that, “for the first time, there won’t be written post  Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) test  for candidates, seeking admission into Nigerian Universities this year.”
JAMB play.

However, he insisted that all other processes should and would be as they have always been.

According to Oloyede, the Senate or Academic Board of each institution reserves the prerogative of admitting candidates of their respective institutions, subject of course only to national policies.

Among others, the policies include, guidelines stipulated by the proprietors of the institution on 60/40 (Science/Art) ratio for conventional Universities, 80/20 (Science/Arts) ratio for non-conventional Universities and use of 2016 JAMB/UTME results print out for all candidates, who scored 180 and above.
