What You Should Know About JAMB’s Withdrawal of 2016 Admission Consideration List

Going by the reactions of candidates over the withdrawal of the

list of candidates sent to tertiary institutions for admission

consideration by JAMB, it is important we clarify a few things

to avoid confusion and ensure candidates are properly guided.

So here are important things you should know and keep in

mind concerning this new development;

1. The University senate now has autonomy to select

candidates for admission. However the list of selected

candidates must pass through JAMB for approval and

issuance of admission letters.

2. Whether or not you were posted to a school or not for

admission consideration earlier no longer matters. As the

posting is no longer valid. All you need to do now is wait for

your school of choice to announce its screening exercise and

ensure you participate accordingly.

3. For Tertiary institutions that have already conducted their

admission screening exercise in line with JAMB stipulations,

such screening still remains valid. Candidates that participated

in such screening should wait for the release of the admission

list(s) by their respective institutions.

4. The withdrawal of the JAMB Consideration List does not

mean that post-UTME is now valid. The ban on Post-UTME

remains valid. Tertiary institutions must abide to the screening

modalities as earlier announced by JAMB.

5. Candidates should note that the offer of provisional

admission by their schools of choice is subject to validation by

the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
