The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has withdrawn the list of candidates sent to schools as recommendation for the 2016/2017 admission. The announcement was contained in a statement by the spokesperson of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
JAMB Announces Withdrawal Of Recommended Candidates’ List For 2016/2017 Admission
This means that Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges and other tertiary institutions can go ahead to conduct the selection of candidates. They are then to refer JAMB to admission lists released by institutions for confirmation in line with the admission criteria of merit, catchment and educationally disadvantaged states.
The statement also explained that the earlier lists sent by JAMB to institutions were to help speed up the process of admission so as to allow other tiers of institutions also conduct their admission.
“Candidates should not panic because this is part of the process of the 2016 admission exercise. JAMB regrets any inconvenience this decision would have caused the tertiary institutions,” Dr. Fabian stated.
