And we are hailing the FG? The position of JAMB was misconstrued. Imagine people scoring over 200 not getting admission in an already saturated University of choice, of which has been the trend yearly. JAMB posting policy will be limited to the Geo-political zones /Catchment areas only. For example you chose a saturated UNILAG and you were offered FU Ekiti or chose UNIPORT and you were offered FU Otuoke. Is it not the same degree to be offered? Smh. Look @ the ones JAMB is willing to save from buying another UTME form. We dont have enough varsities.

Mr man.... wat nonsense..
U r quite or wholey ignorant. If u hv jambites around u, u wud not just type poo.

If they were distributed like u mentioned... noone wud complain
Re: FG Reverses JAMB's Policies On Admission!!! by Nobody: 10:40am On Jul 29, 2015
All I know is that the schools will not admit more than their capacity leaving majority of the candidates without admission. Of course the institutions will be happy to have the money you'll pay for post utme. Ungrateful Nigerian students.

U dnt just post students to private Unis cos U want em' to get admission at all cost! How do they afford the fees? Y post brilliant students who had over 200 to colleges of education?
The policy isn't all bad but we need all the sincerity we can get from Jamb! Keeping the students in the dark since March is criminal!!!
If I wanted to go to a private Uni at first,I would have choosed it!
A friend had 221 for EcoStat Uniben and was posted to Benson Idahosa University to study Library science....shey em' wan change im destinyabi em' go help am pay?

Jamb should re-strategize and make the policy open to public scrutiny next year!....Pirriod!!!

There is absolutely nothing good in dat decision.

Have you for once considered d reason why u chose a course of study? The institution?

*proximity:- how could u be living in lagos and u chose unilag, only for jamb to come and reassign u to university of maidugari? (Proximity, security and familiarity) simply because unimaid has a low turn out for jamb.

*money:- u saw skuls like covenant university, and co, some of the best skuls in naija, yet u went ahead to choose UNN, UNIZIK and UNIBEN, it is so, simply because, u cannot pay their fees, u might want to limit it to private uni, but hey, ANSU, IMSU ESUT and so many other govt skuls pay above N150k per session, where as some good skuls pay as low as N16k,N20,100 etc.

*quality of education, u saw skuls that could not make the 1st 200 list n naija, u didn't chose it, u went for UNN,UNIBEN,UNIZIK, UNILAG and co, because u knew the competition, u read so hard and so well so as to pass the 200 cut off, only for jamb to come and reassign u to those useless skuls simply because they had no or less candidates, isn't that gross?


* I can go on and on and on,


*why did jamb scrap the "OPTION" of 2nd choice in their registration process? because, this is were the 2nd choice of a thing would have come into play. When u didn't reach 1st choice, u revert to 2nd choice, and when u don't get it too, u will not blame anyone.

Plz always check well b4 u conclude on certain issues, ur half baked decisions can affect people negatively.

The Federal Government has reversed the decision by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to allow candidates that applied to universities with surplus applicants for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations to be reassigned to other universities with lower number of applicants than their capacities. ‎

The policy had been trailed by protests in parts of the country.

The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr.MacJohn ‎Nwaobiala‎, disclosed this to State House correspondents on Tuesday after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari of his ministry's activities and challenges at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

JAMB had at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting adopted the policy.
Protests started at the University of Lagos when the institution's authorities announced that only candidates whose names were officially forwarded by JAMB would be eligible to participate in this year’s UNILAG Post-UTME.

Nothing has changed
The University still has the final say on who it admits.
Even if Jamb sends all those who scored 180 to Unilag to do the Post UTME Exam, does it make a difference where they do the Post UTME exam but Unilag cut off for a course is 220?
Who is fooling himself here?
Is it not the candidate and his parent?
Why cannot a parent take his child to a Private University if the Federal Universities cannot accommodate everyone?
Did the child not attend private nursery,primary and secondary schools?
Why run away from a private university?
These Nigerians sef, making noise over nothing
At the end of the day, the same parent will blame the FGN for falling standards of education
What is wrong with Private University, Polytechnics and Colleges of Education?

Am surprised Prof Dibu could be so insensitive to the plights of the Masses.

There factors often considered when choosing a school when filling your JAMB form.

1. Cost
2. Proximity
3. Familiarity
4. Security
5. Institutions reputation
6. Academic excellence
and so on....


How can he just wake up one morning, perhaps with a dizzy eyes and start reassigning students to institutions of his choice?

including pushing prospective students to private Universities that do pay as high as 3 million naira per academic session.

How can he be making such decisions for them?

I thought PMB on the pages of newspaper asked all the heads of agencies to go, is he not part of them?

Ur making sense but they should be given a chance to study in real universities, not some private university with high tuition fee or rather college of education, that's sick now. If JAMB wants to implent this, they should do things the right way.

In case of OND, u can, just head to JAMB office ASAP, check if they still sell change of course form, if it is still valid, then u ve a greater chance. Provided u meet all the requirements needed for CSC as regards to ur SSCE results.
