Oloyede warned that no candidate must emanate from any other source
(JAMB inclusive), outside the list prepared and recommended by the
institutions.
The registrar, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-Haq O. Oloyede has said that admission into the Federal tertiary institutions in the country must comply with the national policy.
Speaking
yesterday, August 22 in Kano, Oloyede warned that no candidate must
emanate from any other source (JAMB inclusive), outside the list
prepared and recommended by the institutions.
Oloyede said this during the First Technical Committee on admission to First Choice Institutions held at the Bayero University, Kano (BUK).
He said that the Senate/ Academic of each institution has the prerogative of admitting candidates, “but this must be in adherence to the national policy.
He added that, “for
the first time, there won’t be written post Universal Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) test for candidates, seeking admission
into Nigerian Universities this year.”
However, he insisted that all other processes should and would be as they have always been.
According
to Oloyede, the Senate or Academic Board of each institution reserves
the prerogative of admitting candidates of their respective
institutions, subject of course only to national policies.
Among
others, the policies include, guidelines stipulated by the proprietors
of the institution on 60/40 (Science/Art) ratio for conventional
Universities, 80/20 (Science/Arts) ratio for non-conventional
Universities and use of 2016 JAMB/UTME results print out for all
candidates, who scored 180 and above.
