Write post-UTME at your first choice institution, JAMB tells candidates.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board, JAMB has back-off on its new policy
adopted on July 14 to redistribute
candidates to universities.
JAMB’s Public Relation Officer, Mr.
Benjamin Fabian who disclosed this to
Vanguard Tuesday in a telephone
conversations said: ”Candidates should go
and write the post-UTME in their
institutions of first choices.”
He, however noted that after the post-
UTME in their universities of first choice,
if necessary, JAMB is still going to
redistribute them.
He said: “When they write the post-UTME
in the schools of their first choices, they
may wish to consider the other places we
have taken them to for admissions.
”The reason is that if they don’t get
admission in their first choices institution,
they will get in the second.”
He explained that JAMB’s effort in
redistributing candidates was only geared
towards helping candidates of over-
subscribed institutions gain admission to
other federal or state universities rather
than wasting their scores.
You will recalled that JAMB had last week
announced its new policy to redistributes
candidates to universities other than their
first choice.
The development which generated sharp
criticism from stakeholders almost
paralysed some of the most sought after
universities in the country.
