JAMB Bows To Pressure On Candidates’ Redistribution

JAMB-LOGO1

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has repealed its earlier decision to redistribute candidates that sat for this year’s exams to institutions they (candidates) did not initially choose while filling their forms.

JAMB has come under criticisms lately since it announced the plan.

Some days ago, some candidates who chose the University of Lagos, UNILAG, and their parents staged a peaceful protest in Lagos.

Professor Dibu Ojerinde, JAMB Registrar, had explained that the redistribution was to help cushion the effect of spill overs from top class institutions, which insist on not reducing their cut off marks, including UNILAG.

JAMB had announced cut off marks of 180 for universities in the country, while 150 for polytechnics and colleges of education.

But the body has now rescinded its decision and has asked candidates to proceed to their first choice of institution for their post-UME exams.
