The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) plans to hold its Policy Committee meeting next Monday and Tuesday to determine the cut-off point for the 2017 admission. In a statement issued by its Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in Abuja, the agency said the meetings will kick-start the 2017 admission exercise.
According to him, the policy committee would announce the cut-off point for the 2017 admission exercise.
He said: “All stakeholders, including vice chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics and mono technics and provosts of colleges of education would be in attendance,” the statement said.
Benjamin said the board has sent soft-copies of printout of candidates to institutions chosen by candidates.
“This year, the board has sent candidates who scored 100 and above in their JAMB to the institutions in its flexible admission policy for institutions to determine the suitability of the candidates in compliance with all laid down rules and regulations as determined by the proprietors of the institutions and approved by Senate of the various schools.
“The board will ensure that criterion set by Senate is strictly adhered to by the institution's admission officers and no shifting of the goal post in the middle of the admission exercise. This is to guarantee fairness and equity to all candidates,” the statement added.
He said the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, had advised all computer based test (CBT) centre owners to ensure that their centres are up-to-date as the board would not compromise on the 2018 accreditation exercise.
He added that having suitable centres was the bedrock of conducting a smooth examination.
