THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said the points system as criteria for admis­sion into tertiary institutions in the country was a mere il­lustration.

This was contained in a statement by the board’s Head of Media and Informa­tion, Dr Fabian Benjamin, yesterday, in Lagos.

JAMB said the Federal Government had approved re-enforcement of admis­sion guideline as recognised by law.

According to the state­ment, admission of candi­dates into tertiary institu­tions would be based purely on three pillars namely: mer­it, catchment and education­ally less-developed states.

The statement, candidates are to present their Senior School Certificate Exami­nation (SSCE) results/Ad­vanced Level (AL) results for verification and clearing purposes.

It said West African Ex­amination Council (WAEC), National Examination Council (NECO) and NBTE results or its equivalent are acceptable as matriculation requirements.
