You Can Now Select 2 Universities in JAMB UTME Registration

The popular Joint Admission and Matriculation Board also known for short as JAMB has just recently stated that some changes have been made to the UTME Registration process for 2016/2017 expecially with regards to choice of institutions by the 2016/2017 UTME candidates.

The JAMB Public Relations Officer, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in a statement he made said that the board has made provision for "preferred choice" to give candidates a better opportunity of gaining admission.

According to him, "What we did initially was that you only have one choice. Now, we have made it in such a way that if you miss the University of Lagos; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, and Ahmadu Bello University, Zaira, you will have an opportunity of going to another school.

Before, all universities will be in first and second choice and that will not solve any problem. We have now decided to put a few of those schools we feel will have more spaces as more preferred.

Institutions placed on the more preferred choice are those that are mostly not oversubscribed. This is because it will not make any sense if you place institutions like the ABU, UNILAG, OAU and UNN, when in actual sense they cannot even admit one third of the candidates that will choose them as most preferred."

All Nigerian Scholars seeking admission into the university are therefore advised to ensure they visit accredited registration centres for registration where they will be properly guided on this new option and ask questions if the need clarification.

If you are interested in seeing what courses are offered in various Universities or what universities offer a particular course or even if you want to check Subject Combinations for various courses, please download the JAMB brochure.
