The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced the release of its guidelines for the 2016 admissions’ process.

The method, described as the point system option, was adopted after an extensive one-week meeting JAMB had with universities and other tertiary institutions’ administrators in the country.



According to the guidelines contained in a statement placed on its website on Monday night, JAMB said that the modalities were going to be based on point system.

While explaining how the admission process would work for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination candidates and direct entry students, the organisation stated that universities were going to charge fees for screening of candidates at the end of the process for admission.

According to JAMB, the new method uses a point system to offer provisional admission to candidates.

“Before a candidate can be considered for screening, he/she must have been offered a provisional admission by JAMB. The JAMB admission checker portal is going to be opened soon for this process, so praying is all you can do now,” JAMB said.

The second process, it said, was the point system where admission would depend on the point tally of the candidate.

The statement said, “JAMB’s provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith. The points are evenly spread out between your O’ Level and JAMB results to provide a level-playing field for all.



“In the first case, any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10 points. The exam could be NECO, WASSCE, November/December WASSCE etc, but any candidate who has two sittings only gets 2 points. So this means that candidates with only one result are at an advantage but only just.”

The organisation added that the “next point grades fell into the O’ Level grades where each grade would have it equivalent point; A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better the candidates’ grades, the better his or her chances of securing admission this year.

“The next point is the UTME scores where each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarised thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points,” JAMB explained.

Giving a breakdown, JAMB explained that each category would contain five JAMB results per point added.

For example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20 points, while a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points.

JAMB added that the point system for direct entry would be released soon.

JAMB stated that fees would still be charged for screening which would replace the Post UTME test.

JAMB also emphasised that catchment and educationally less-developed state would still be used for admission into the nation’s tertiary institutions.

JAMB said, “Merit contains 45 per cent of the total candidates for a particular course, Catchment contains 35 per cent and ELDS and staff lists contains the rest. Cut off marks will be released by the institutions this year in the form of points and not marks.

“If a school declares its cut off mark for Medicine as 90 points and JAMB grants a candidate with 250 a provisional admission but his/her total points falls short of the 90 points, then he/she will lose the admission. So the provisional admission is just a means to an end, not the end in itself.

Na gp style dem dey use nw

Whats the meaning of 180-200 : 20-23
Which one is which?

This is wicked

How many gets above 300 in JAMB to get 34/60 points?

This government is fighting and breeding corruption at the same time.

Epic selection method

What about students that are awaiting results?
How is there points gonna be calculated?
Since points are been allocated to the O level results

very cool

How is this breeding corruption? Is it government fault if you don't get 300+?

APC have destroyed everything in Nigeria including our Educational System.


God bless GEJ.

This is serious....

Another way of making money

OP thanks for the info

Sighs

Ok o

OK...

this is not a good factor for securing admission. more people will start to visiting villages for their OLevel.what's the essence of scraping post utme and now introducing screening fees.all na same. who is deceiving who

Jamb hasn't told the students that wrote O'level exams for the first time this year and are yet to see their results what to do.
Are they saying every candidate must have spent at least a year at home??
This isn't looking nice.

isorite you people should keep confusing us..contunu










Meanwhile




























M down here sipping kunu and



















zobo

.

They just increased corruption and malpractice in Wassce and Neco to itz peak. The poor masses will suffer this for sure

End time point system!

Many people have comprehension problem in Nigeria. JAMB is not using any point system. The image below is what JAMB is proposing.

The best thing I will love Buhari to do is to simply SCRAP this EVIL thing called JAMB! It's nothing but a SCAM!





Like if you support my idea.

The comment above mine, is of a billion naira value!

Between

Imagine I meet someone yesterday that has two printed Jamb 2016 result bearing the same name but different scores.

One was 265 and the other was 188!

Is that not the height of imcompetence and ineffectivness

Jamb registrar suppose to be an Agbero here in Lagos in one bus stop, always arguing with Nigerians.

Foolish man. Difbu ODErinde

Special centres will increase nd jamb will be scrapped in the next few years unless Waec adopts CBT

Hmm

A zoo system.
What else do you expect?

buhari came back to ruin this country

Iranu.......

it's not about how many is above the high score.
schools have the list of students with their score in a particular course, they will use that to set their cut off point, so that reduces the number of those to be considered, e.g., if about 2000 score 180 above for medicine in unilag with capacity of 200, school might increase the cutoff to 230 if the list will reduce.....
