Senate Asks Jamb To Extend Validity Of Result To Three Years..What Is Your Opinion?
The Senate, yesterday, directed the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, to extend the validity of its results to a period of at least three years.
JAMB was also ordered to immediately stop its policy of re-assigning candidates to schools they didn’t apply to, saying such policy was contrary to the act establishing the board.
The order came following a motion entitled: ”JAMB’s New Admission Policy, “ sponsored by Senator Joshua Lidani, APC, Gombe South, which was debated during plenary.
They also urged JAMB to consult widely with Parents Teachers Association, PTA, ASUU and all other stakeholders in the education sector with a view to coming out with a friendlier holistic, comprehensive and sustainable admissions policy.
It also directed its Committee on Education to enquire into circumstances surrounding the JAMB policy, including all allegations of favouritism and generally review the power of JAMB vis-a-vis administration and submit findings within one week.
Lidani said JAMB, at its 2015 Combined Policy Meeting, held on July 14, 2015, in Abuja, announced the adoption of a policy whereby candidates of universities with surplus applicants for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME, were reassigned to other universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities. Which he said was inappropriate because some candidates get sent to private universities that they cant afford.

Hi bro tim does dis mean jamb we offer us admission to our favourite skul back
Yes, they ve been asked not to assign schools to student. You will be able to study in your favorite school.
I think its a good thing but 3yrs is outrageous! 2yrs validity period is very reasonable. If they had come up with this 2yrs ago I for don dey like 2nd year now for uni lol But oh well, the generation coming up just got lucky I guess
Hi bro Tim does this also mean that we don’t need to take 2015/16 jamb exam if you already wrote for 2014/15 and had a good result?
Not yet confirmed. We are still waiting for further updates. Let’s hope for the best!
I think it’s a good ideal and I pray it becomes effective this year..
Mehn dats totally fresh, less stressful and acceptable, kudos to the senate house????
It will really be nice if dis policy is adopted, as re-writing jamb really draw most candidates back. At least if one can pass jamb ones, then one will concentrate fully on o’level. I pray it works o
