JAMB Admission Deadline 2017/2018 All Schools Is Out

Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board, JAMB, has released the deadline
for 2017/2018 academic session
admission exercise.



According to the Registrar of JAMB, Prof.
Ishaq Oloyede, who made this
pronouncement after the policy meeting
on 2017 admissions for tertiary
institutions at Abuja, said that first
choice admissions will end on
15th October while second choice
admissions will be concluded on 15th
December this year.




He urged all vice-chancellors, rectors and
provosts of institutions to abide by this
agreement and ensure its
implementation to the core.




The JAMB boss called on all the heads of
various tertiary institutions to set their
modalities for admissions exercises as it
was not the board’s responsibility.



He said that no candidate without O’
Level prerequisite would be offered
admission.



Oloyede said 569,395 of the 1.7 million
candidates that wrote this year’s UTME
scored over 200 marks.

He said 23.8 per
cent of the total number of the
candidates scored below 160 marks.
