JAMB : WE WILL NOT ALLOW UNIVERSITIES REJECT CANDIDATES ARBITRARILY

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) has disclosed that it will not allow
institutions to reject candidates arbitrarily or
as result of sudden change in admission
criteria.
This was made known by the Registrar,
Professor Is-haq O. Oloyede during the extra
ordinary technical committee meeting on 2016
admissions to first choice institutions at Baze
University, Abuja.
According to him, “JAMB will not accept
whatever is done arbitrarily and I hope those
that are here will make adjustment. They
must be able to explain why somebody with
high score was not taken.
I have a particular school where the person
who scored the highest marks was not taken
and the reason was because the university
changed its rules.
You cannot change the rules when the game
is on. You have to wait until 2017 to publish
the new rules; you cannot have a particular
rule and changed to another.”
He further mentioned that the admission
criteria by institutions must be reasonable,
explicit and must have been published in the
2016 admission brochure.
He equally stated that it is wrong for any
institution to admit candidates beyond its
carrying capacity and called on institutions
that were yet to update their requirements for
the 2017 brochure to urgently do so.
