The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Thursday directed all tertiary institutions to end their 2017 admission by January 25.

The Board’s Head of Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin said the board’s decision came at a meeting where all issues and ones bordering on the admission process were taken into consideration.

He said it was resolved that the academic calendar must be adhered to.

According to him, the directive becomes necessary as the board intends to meet up with the academic calendar as earlier agreed.

“By implication, candidates who have gained admissions into various institutions and are yet to register or do not have admissions by January 25 should begin to make preparations for the 2018 UTME.

“The public must also note that the UTME results are valid for only one year and not three years as widely speculated.

“If changes are made to the validity, I assure you the board would communicate appropriately to the public.”

The board had recently said that the UTME examinations would take place between March 9 and 17, while the mock exams would take place in the first week of February.

Benjamin also noted that the sale of Direct Entry forms is ongoing while urging candidates who intend to apply to do so immediately as the sale of the DE forms ends on the same date with the UTME’s.

“It has come to our knowledge that a lot of candidates are not aware of the sale of the Direct Entry forms, which we have advertised.

“We are calling on desirous candidates to please register their profile and obtain the pins from the vending platforms.

“Candidates who want to apply to institutions through DE must note that the sale of the forms started the same date as the UTME’s and would end on the same date which is on February 6.

“This form can be obtained through the same process as the UTME forms.

“It could be purchased through vending commercial banks, Mobile Money Operators (MMO’s), Interswitch, NIPOST, and Remita,” he said.

Benjamin, however, noted that candidates should ensure that they disclose at the point of obtaining e-pins the exact pins they are paying for, that is, Direct Entry or UTME as some unknowingly purchase Direct Entry instead of UTME and vice-versa.

I pray prof Kembe BSU VC see this.

Nonsense

Who will do the admission?

And what are they doing to ease the stress schools are going through uploading their lists on the dubious CAPS portal?


Most schools are blaming jamb for the delay in the release of their second lists and jamb is telling them toned admission process by 25, I guess jamb is just concerned about making money for the government, what they are stylishly saying is this 'if you've not been admitted yet, oga bone that side, go collect another form"

oh JAMB gave them orders... before nko will 2017 admissions be forever?

Abegggiiii mk una park well ooo.....Let my cousin and my shima get admission first......

Please guys! Does this concern HND admission too?? ?
Cos we've been expecting our admission list since last year!

Without this deadline, some schools will be processing admission till March!

Yes, as if they will hear.

They should have made the deadline December 27th, last year.

It is not a foolish talk as you have claimed. Jamb should really be scrapped. We all know that most of SSCE results are not reliable because of all this and that miracle centres.

So what is the way out?

Each institutions should be allowed to conduct their own exams to be able to admit candidates.

But one thing I know is that it is almost impossible to scrap jamb cos it is an avenue for government to embezzle money.

Good move.

“By implication, candidates who have gained admissions into various institutions and are yet to register or do not have admissions by January 25 should begin to make preparations for the 2018 UTME."

This is beyond arrogant. I don't know what is wrong with us as a people. Obviously, the senate has backed down because of the billions and billions of naira that will be made from hapless students.

Why are parents not speaking up about this. I maintain that the validity period of the UTME result should not be less than 5 years.

Where are the parents? Where is Charly Boy? where is Dino Melaye? Where is the common sense senator?

Please don't buy any form for your child if he/she scored above 200 last year. We should fight this to the very end. This is extortion, daylight robbery.
