The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) has announced
that all the candidates who participated in the 2014/15 UTME, (Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examination) candidates that the Admission
Status will be made available next- Probably before 27th August, 2014.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, who made this announcement in Lagos,
urged all the Jamb 2014 Candidates to check the Internet next week to
confirm their proper placement in the nation's
tertiary institutions.
Prof. Dibu Ojerinde also announced that no
fewer than 700,000 candidates would secure admission to the nation's
tertiary institutions for the 2014/2015 academic
session.
"If we recalled, more than 1.6m candidates sat for the Joint Admission
and Matriculation Board, JAMB examination, the
exam which comprises of the Paper-Pencil Test, (PPT) - Dual Based
test, (DBT) and the
Computer-Based-Test, (CBT) last April and May. About 60 per cent
(plus) candidates who will not be admitted into any tertiary
institution for the 2014/2015 Session.
According to Dibu Ojerinde, the National Universities Commission,
National Board for Technical Education and the National
Commission of Colleges of Education have this year increased the
carrying capacity of
the schools under their superintendence.
Dibu Ojerinde, who had earlier urged the participants of the TCM to
endeavour to conclude the session on time, said the call
became imperative to enable the board to finalise its admission
process this year.
He added that the early conclusion of the exercise, especially the cut
off marks for candidates' first-choice universities, would
also prepare the board to make admission provisions for other
candidates in their respective schools of second choice.
The JAMB boss added, "There is no
gainsaying the fact that the challenge of the rising demand for access
to tertiary institutions in Nigeria means that the entry
process must be well-managed and seamless.
It is for this reason that the Board expects every institution to
abide by the admissions timetable as already agreed upon at the
Policy Meeting of July 1, 2014.
"We must adhere strictly to the guidelines which stipulates a 60:40
Science/arts ratio, 45,35,20 of Federal ratio, 70:30 of
Technology/non-Technology ratio, as well as the ratio of 40:40:20
(merit/catchment area/educationally less developed area) for state
owned institutions.
"As a reminder, it has also become
imperative to stress once more, that all admissions for the 2014/ 2015
academic session will end on Friday, October 31, 2014. All
institutions are hereby enjoined
to adhere to the stipulated date, as late submissions will not be entertained."
