The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting, held on July 14, 2015 in Abuja, announced the adoption of a policy whereby candidates of universities with surplus applicants for the Unified
Matriculation Examinations (UTME) are reassigned to other universities with lower number of candidates than their
capacities.
According to the Registrar/CEO of JAMB,
Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the policy has twobenefits:
1. It will be beneficial to “needy Universities” that is universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities, as this will ensure that these universities will have more candidates to admit.
2. Candidates will have better chances for admission in the universities they are re-assigned to, contrary to situations where they would await admission in the universities of their first choices until the admission exercise closes and they forfeit admission in that session.
This policy has been implemented with
immediate effect. Consequently, the
eligibility for Post-UTME screening in the
University of Lagos like other universities
in Nigeria has been determined by JAMB.
