No...changes don't reflect on slip! I confirmed dat.

serious! U mean it doesnt reflect in d jamb RESULT slip?

Hmmm.... But wetin man go do? They should av statd their cutoff b4 change of institution form closed nah. Its unfair.

The man was like instead of parents to go and build up their children to be up to standard they are protesting....
My deduction is dat Jamb already set the national cut off and cannot set cut off for the school again. So unilag is where all this problem is from... Unilag has the right to set any cut off for highly competitive courses unlike Unilorin that clearly stipulated 240 in jamb for medicine in the jamb brochure...

Let's wait for the necessary channel to verify our positions from Jamb.

Latest developments....I knew something was wrong with UNILAG!!!

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that the national cut off point for screening of candidates for admission remained the minimum expectation that each candidate desirous of university admission should have. This is contained in a statement issued by the Public Relations Officer of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Lagos. According to the statement, the attention of the board has been drawn to the challenge experienced by some candidates who could not access the University of Lagos site to register for the Post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The statement said that the board sincerely sympathised with their frustration. “We want to seize this opportunity to state that our attention has been drawn to the agitation by some parents and students who turned out for the registration for the post JAMB screening exercise for the candidates. “We sympathise with them but wish to state categorically that the national cut off point is just the minimum expectation that each candidate desirous of university admission should have. “However, universities are at liberty to go higher than 180, depending on their peculiarities and the performance of candidates who chose them. “For instance, if over 10,000 candidates who made Unilag their first choice scored 250 and above, it will be difficult for them to go lower than 250 when they are to admit only about 7000. “I wish to state that a time will come when some universities will go up to 300 as their cut off mark, depending on the performance,’’ the statement said. It explained that because of the development, the board decided that some of the candidates who chose such institutions but fall below their cut off marks should not miss out, hence the need to send them to other schools. The statement added that such a gesture should rather be applauded, instead of condemning the Dibu Ojerinde-led JAMB management.

JAMB NEW ADMISSION POLICY - THE GOOD SIDE Jul, 23 Like we promised, we have been following the new jamb admission policy and have been trying to ascertain the rationale and criteria used by JAMB in determining the eligibility of candidates to participate in their choice schools' post-UTME this year. Our findings have shown that the policy may not really be as bad as it seems. JAMB arrived at this new policy basically by considering the number of candidates that applied for the courses approved by NUC in the various schools and the number of applicants per institution. For instance, statistics has it that, a whopping 607,330 candidates applied to study just in the top ten universities. This only implies that the carrying capacities of these universities have been outweighed by the number of applicants. In other to give such candidates that may not be absorbed by these universities opportunity of gaining admission this year, there is need to re- distribute these candidates to other universities that have less than their carrying capacities based on scores and catchment areas. The import of this is that only the top scorers (say about 20%) in a particular course may be considered eligible to participate in the Post- UTME of their choice institutions. Especially in those institutions that have more candidates than their carrying capacities could contain. So for candidates who scored the required cut-off mark and yet not eligible to participate in their schools’ post-UTME you may need to consider the following; 1.The probability that you are in the top 20% in your chosen course. 2.If your choice in institution is under your state’s catchment. So it can be deduced that the main aim for this new admission policy is to balance the admission process. In order to create an almost balanced platform for candidates which will give them a better chance of gaining admission this year. This is because if JAMB was to go with the status quo, the admission will be partial and greatly tilted to one side and will also disfavour many. The affected candidates like we gathered will soon be notified by JAMB on what to do next .

[ A preliminary investigation carried out by Myschool, through a JAMB Staff, has
revealed that the board will notify candidates of the new school/course they
will be posted, to adopt the new policy of candidate distribution.
According to the JAMB Staff, "Some of the candidates who scored more than
200 and are being rejected for some courses, happened based on the
individual cut-off marks set by the institution for those particular courses. In
summary too many students applied for those courses and the University can
only admit a fraction of the candidates who applied. JAMB will therefore notify
candidates of appropriate Universities/Course they can apply for."
It is therefore our deduction that these rejected candidates will be sent to
study the same courses in other Universities of lesser competition. This policy
also ensures that best candidates in the country are admitted, even if it means
posting them to other institutions.
The new policy to evenly distribute candidates by JAMB has met heavy
criticism based on the fact that forms were sold for candidates to Change their
Course/Institution.[/quote]

Ok guys...another discovery

according to this websites

http://www.myschoolgist.com.ng/ng/unilag-jamb-new-policy/



There headline reads...UNILAG Implements JAMB Admission New Policy for 2015/16

what does that mean? it means for now, only Unilag has gone ahead with the new policy.

Recall that some schools like ABUAD are done with their PUTME exams already, Lasu is set to begin, and a host of other schools, but there is no mention of the new policy even on UI's Portal.

#still investigating

Hey guys...
Good news is, the Ministry of Education can stop this policy
Bad news is, Baba is yet to appoint ministers...

Loooooooool. Baba Go fast. Anyways I just went through the whole thread and it just confirmed my suspicion that jamb is no fool and they really mean well. Students are wailing because admission is once a year and some states are not safe plus the standard of teaching is tilted to a small number of schools. I'm a newbie here (I'm a pro in visitor mode tho) but I see some really wise people. Let's just be patient, I knew something was up when unilorin delayed putme form, I'm going for biochemistry and I scored 245. Just putting my mind in a mental jacuzzi. fear solves nothing strategy does.

In response to this thread:> https://www.nairaland.com/2467498/shocking-illegal-new-jamb-eligibility

I've decided to post my findings here...and i employ other "like" minds to help mee do the same here.

Pls. complaints on the rumour should be dropped on the above thread, while theories explaining the 'new' process should be done on this thread.
