Awaiting Result Option Has Not Been Scrapped - JAMB

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said several reports that say the option of students applying for the 2017 UTME with awaiting results has been scrapped are not true.

Reacting to the news, JAMB, through its official Twitter handle wrote "JAMB has NOT scrapped Awaiting result for prospective candidates for the forthcoming exam."

"2. Candidates with Awaiting results can apply. But they must have gotten their results at the point of admission into their institution," JAMB added.

With this development, fresh secondary school leavers who have not written or seen their O'level results will be able to register for the 2017 UTME.

UTME: JAMB Scraps Awaiting Results Registration

With effect from this year (2017), candidates awaiting results would no longer be eligible to apply for the Universities Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, said in Abuja on Tuesday.

The organisation also said it had concluded all restructuring and reforms and is now set to commence the sale of its application document in March.

The restructuring exercise will now allow for only one choice of public university in which new registration platform will now be first choice, second choice, third choice and fourth choice and not most preferred, preferred choice.

A statement by the spokesperson of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the agency had taken time to add value to the services it have been offering to Nigerians for over three decades.

According to him, the restructuring was aimed at expanding the opportunities available to candidates since almost all the public universities do not consider candidates on the second choice list because they hardly exhaust their first choice.

He said, “We have designed a Central Admissions Processing System where the Board will interface with the institutions and ensure the compliance of this reform. The summary is that no candidate will be admitted with awaiting result. Candidates and their parents are also to note that JAMB has restructured the registration platform to allow for only one choice of public university. The new registration platform will now be first choice, second choice, third choice and fourth choice and not most preferred, preferred etc.”
