Multiple Selection Of Institution Now Enable In 2016/2017 Jamb Registration

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board JAMB has said
that it has made some modifications on the 2016/2017
registration as it concerns selection of institutions by
candidates.

According to the Public Relations Officer of the board, Dr
Fabian Benjamin, the board has made provision for
“preferred choice” to give candidates opportunity of
gaining admission.


In his words, “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 over subscribed.

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.”


We therefore advise candidates to ensure they visit
accredited registration centres for registration where they
will be properly guided on this new option and ask
questions if the need clarification.
