Check Out JAMB New Rules For 2016/2017 Admission Seekers (Must Read)

The modification according to JAMB, will lessen
competition among candidates seeking placement
to the nation’s “oversubscribed” universities.
According to Dr Fabian Benjamin, the chief
information officer of the board, JAMB has
introduced “preferred choice” platform in its portal.
This new addition will enable candidates have
wider opportunities of securing admission.
“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.
“Institutions placed 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,” he said.
For proper guidance during registration, make sure
you patronize JAMB Certified Registration Centres.
