The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has published the guidelines for admissions into tertiary institutions fr 2016 academic year saying the point system copied from its website was a mere illustration.
In a statement released by the JAMB’s Head of Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, on Sunday in Lagos, the Federal Government had approved the re-enforcement of admission guideline as recognised by law.
According to the statement, the admission of candidates into tertiary institutions will be based purely on three pillars, namely merit, catchment and educationally less developed states.

- each candidate is expected to have a minimum of five credits at SSCE, including English, Mathematics and any other three relevant subjects to his or her discipline;
- any candidate that does not possess the requirements as listed above is deemed to have failed the screening.
- the list of qualified candidates awaiting awaiting SSCE/AL results can be kept in view (K.I.V) pending the release of their results;
- consideration of the recommended list as forward by JAMB should be completed within one month from the date of receipt of the list;
- any institution that has a shortfall in the admitted candidates could make-up for candidates from other departments on the institutions list;
- The screening list has been uploaded on JAMB website www.jamb.org.ng for possible users;
