The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board JAMB has said that it has made some modifications on the 2016/2017 registrationas it concerns selection of institutions by candidates.
According to the Public Relations Officer of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, the board has made provision for “preferred choice” to give candidatesample opportunity of gaining admission.
In his words, “What we did initially was that you only have one choice. Now, we have made it in such a way that if you miss the University of Lagos; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and Ahmadu Bello University, Zaira, you will have an opportunity of going to another school.
Before, all universities will be in first and second choice and that will not solve any problem. We have now decided to put a few of those schools we feel will have more spaces as more preferred.
Institutionsplaced on the more preferred choice are those that are mostly not oversubscribed. This is because it will not make any sense if you place institutions like the ABU, UNILAG, OAU and UNN, when in actual sense they cannot even admit one third of the candidates that will choose them as most preferred.”
We therefore advise candidates to ensure they visit accredited registration centres for registration where they will be properly guided on this new option and ask questions if the need clarification.
If you want to quickly see what courses are offered in various Universitiesor what universities offer a particular course or even if you want to check Subject Combinations for various courses.

this is still wrong ,the old system of choosing first and second choice is just OK, u might extend to 3rd and 4th choice if needed. but why group universities for candidate, those ones u will put as second choice might be someone's first and vice versa. I think a confusionist has entered JAMB

ahahah at list they tried i think they do what they think is best for some people if not all
