ISSUES TO NOTE
- The list of candidates that have scored above
the minimum cut-off mark, and are NOT admitted
may be forwarded to other institutions that need
them for consideration. Especially their Second
(2nd) Choice institutions of preferences.
The rules:
1. Screening of candidates shall be for those
offered Provisional AdmissionsONLY.
2. No written examination to be conducted.
3. Verification of Course Requirements (O levels
or A levels).
4. Verification of valid JAMB results by checking
i.Online Result Slip
ii.Printout
iii.Provisional Admission Letter
iv.Photo Album
v.Check list
vi.Biometrics
vii. Before a candidate can seat be considered for
screening, he/she must have been given
provisional admission by Jamb.
viii. Institutions are free to source from other
Course(s) to compensate for SHORTFALL in any
of the criteria.
The point system:
This is the most critical part of the process.
Jamb's provisional admission no longer makes
much sense this year, your points tally will decide
your faith. The points are evenly spread out
between your O'level and Jamb results to provide
a level playing field for all.
In the first case, any candidate who submits only
one result which contains his/her relevant
subjects already has 10points, the exam could be
NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate who
has 2 sittings only gets 3 points. So this means
that aspirants with only one result are at an
advantage but only just.
The next point grades fall into the O'level grades.
Each grades has it's equivalent point, A=6 marks,
B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better your grades
the better your chances.
The next point is the UTME scores. Each score
range has its equivalent point which can be
summarized thus, 180-200=20-23 marks,
200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43,
300-400=44-60 points. Each categories contains
5 Jamb results per point added, for example a
candidate with 180-185 gets 20points, a
candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points etc.
Points system for DE will be released soon.
- It then comes down to the fact that fees will
still be charged for screening, it depends on the
school as well.
- Catchment and ELDS will still be used! |
