The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board says it will shut down its Direct Entry admission e - registration portal on September 15 .
The Head of Media and Information of the board, Dr . Fabian Benjamin , said this in Abuja on Friday. Benjamin urged the prospective candidates for the direct entry admission to register before the deadline , saying that the board might not extend the deadline .
He also advised the candidates to re - upload their O ’ Level results in its new portal as the one previously used did not allow for the capturing of candidates ’ levels
of grades.
He further said that the candidates should use JAMB ’ s approved Computer Based Test centres for the exercise .
According to him , the new portal has provided a platform for the detailed categories of West African Examination results of candidates for proper placement .
“ The first platform that was used for the exercise did not create room for the capturing of the levels of grades such as C4 ,
C5 , C6 , B1 , B2 , B3 and A1 .
“ You know in some schools , all these O ’ level grades are considered .
“ You may have a B1 and another
candidate has a B3 . If there is no room for separating the grades in the platform , schools may not be able to ascertain the levels of grades . “ The first platform just stated “ A” , “ B” , “ C” . So with this new platform , there will be room for the download of the
levels of grades .
“ Somebody who has a B1 will stand a better chance than the person with a B3 . “
So , we use this new platform to
capture all those detailed categories of WAEC result so that no grade of the result will be left uploaded . ” Benjamin , however , added that any candidate who felt that what he or she uploaded earlier was enough might not bother .
