Write post-UTME at your first choice institution, JAMB tells candidates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB has
back-off on its new policy adopted on July 14 to redistribute
candidates to universities.
JAMB’s Public Relation Officer, Mr. Benjamin Fabian who
disclosed this to us on  Tuesday in a telephone
conversation said: ”Candidates should go and write the
post-UTME in their institutions of first choices.”
He, however noted that after the post-UTME in their
universities of first choice, if necessary, JAMB is still going
to redistribute them.
He said: “When they write the post-UTME in the schools of
their first choices, they may wish to consider the other
places we have taken them to for admissions.
”The reason is that if they don’t get admission in their first
choices institution, they will get in the second.”
He explained that JAMB’s effort in redistributing candidates
was only geared towards helping candidates of over-
subscribed institutions gain admission to other federal or
state universities rather than wasting their scores.
You will recalled that JAMB had last week announced its
new policy to redistributes candidates to universities other
than their first choice.
The development which generated sharp criticism from
stakeholders almost paralysed some of the most sought
after universities in the country.
