The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has concluded all restructuring, transformation, reforms and other preparation for the 2017 UTME and is now set to commence the sale of its application forms in March, 2017.
JAMB Head of Information, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement said the board appreciates the patience exhibited by Nigerians “in allowing us take time to add value to the services we have been offering to Nigerians for over three decades”.
He said in the cause of conducting admission exercise, many institutions had admitted candidates on merit only for them to discover that such candidates do not have qualified O’levels results or the right combination for admission and had to delete and start the process all over again.
The statement added that “With this, they would have denied other qualified candidates the opportunities for admissions. This we are addressing by ensuring that no candidate is henceforth recommended without his O’levels result being supplied.
“To achieve this, JAMB will insist that candidates supply their result on its website during registration or later, but before admissions commences for them to be considered for admissions. We believe this will allow onlyqualified candidates to be considered for admissions.
“We have designed a Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) where the Board will interface with the institutions and ensure the compliance of this reform. The summary is that no candidate will be admitted with awaiting result.
