Good day everyone, and big congrats to all aspiring undergraduates that were affected in the new jamb eligibility regulation.

I can assure you all that the matter has been resolved as we have finally gotten an order from the Federal High court, compelling Unilag and Jamb to include any students that scored 200marks &above. Other universities have also effected the change.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has repealed its earlier decision to redistribute candidates that sat for this year’s exams to institutions they (candidates) did not initially choose while filling their forms. JAMB has come under criticisms lately since it announced the plan. Some days ago, some candidates who chose the University of Lagos, UNILAG, and their parents staged a peaceful protest in Lagos both at Unilag and the Federal High Court.

Professor Dibu Ojerinde, JAMB Registrar, had explained that the redistribution was to help cushion the effect of spill overs from top class institutions, which insist on not reducing their cut off marks, including UNILAG. JAMB had announced cut off marks of 180 for universities in the country, while 150 for polytechnics and colleges of education. But the body has now rescinded its decision and has asked candidates to proceed to their first choice of institution for their post-UME exams following the court's verdict.

Though I wasn't in Lagos to attend the hearing but my reliable source says the judge delivered his judgement at exactly 12.20pm today & asked both Jamb & Unilag to revert its sudden policy wit immediate effect. A copy of d judgement has also been released.

More news on this will be updated. Big shoutout to everyone that lent a voice and those that participated in the protes. Special thanks goes to lalasticlala, Venus007, RobinHez, Pukka36, ifeooye, Teempakguy, Brytawon, DrSage, FORUMgod, Seuncoded and so many more.

This ain't a good news,, this is bad news in disguise.. The student should have accepted their faith and move on... I am definitely sure they would be the first set to be thrown out after writing post jamb... Unilag was trying to be fair so they won't waste money and time,, the crowd is too much and they won't still accept more than what they want regardless of how many people that will sit for the exam

Ada96! Oya, join me to shakiti!

Good news

a list was sent to them? yes the cut off mark raised to 250? wrong! somebody with 263 was not eligible

CuteMaryJ:

Its not abt the requested scripts...if a Uni wants to screen someone out, they can do it at the snap of a finger..

Go jor! Local geh. :-P

Unilag was dragged to court, not because of the new policy but because of the new cutoff mark

Well...whatever there criteria of selection, they still have the records.

That only happens to a person that wants it so. For now, all affected students have to strengthen their connections.
