The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), proprietors of private tertiary institutions, and other relevant stakeholders have set a November 30 deadline for completion of the 2016 admissions into universities and other tertiary institutions.
JAMB Registrar Professor Ishaq Oloyede, who released the information at the technical meeting on 2016 admissions at the Bayero University Kano, promised that the Board would not in any way interfere with the list of candidates sent by institutions for 2016 candidates admissions, either by addition or subtraction of names.
He said that the meeting was convened to discuss the issue of suitable placements of qualified candidates into tertiary institutions, taking into consideration the available vacancies, respective institution approved guidelines, preference expressed for the institutions and courses by the candidates.
The JAMB Chief Executive was optimistic that the 2016 admissions will be as smooth as ever, even as all other processes remain the same except that there won’t be written post-UTME test as a result of the recent abolition of the post-UTME test the Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu.
Prof. Oloyede challenged the stakeholders to act to focus on what is beneficial to the largest number of Nigerians, to avoid adding to the burden of the masses yearning for higher education as a veritable means to active participation in public life.
