JAMB 2014/2015 Admission Status To Be Available Online Next Week

LATEST report reaching us has it that The
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board,
(JAMB) has announced that all the

candidates who participated in the 2014/15
UTME, (Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination) candidates that the Admission
Status will be made available next-
Probably before 27th August, 2014.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde,
who made this announcement in Lagos,
urged all the Jamb 2014 Candidates to
check the Internet next week to confirm
their proper placement in the nation’s
tertiary institutions.
Prof. Dibu Ojerinde also announced that no
fewer than 700,000 candidates would
secure admission to the nation’s tertiary
institutions for the 2014/2015 academic
session.
If we recalled, more than 1.6m candidates
sat for the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board, JAMB examination, the
exam which comprises of the Paper-Pencil
Test, (PPT) – Dual Based test, (DBT) and the
Computer-Based-Test, (CBT) last April and
May. About 60 per cent (plus) candidates
who will not be admitted into any tertiary
institution for the 2014/2015 Session.
According to Dibu Ojerinde, the National
Universities Commission, National Board
for Technical Education and the National
Commission of Colleges of Education have
this year increased the carrying capacity of
the schools under their superintendence.
Dibu Ojerinde, who had earlier urged the
participants of the TCM to endeavour to
conclude the session on time, said the call
became imperative to enable the board to
finalise its admission process this year.
He added that the early conclusion of the
exercise, especially the cut off marks for
candidates’ first-choice universities, would
also prepare the board to make admission
provisions for other candidates in their
respective schools of second choice.
The JAMB boss added, “There is no
gainsaying the fact that the challenge of the
rising demand for access to tertiary
institutions in Nigeria means that the entry
process must be well-managed and
seamless.
It is for this reason that the Board expects
every institution to abide by the admissions
timetable as already agreed upon at the
Policy Meeting of July 1, 2014.
“We must adhere strictly to the guidelines
which stipulates a 60:40 Science/arts ratio,
45,35,20 of Federal ratio, 70:30 of
Technology/non-Technology ratio, as well
as the ratio of 40:40:20 (merit/catchment
area/educationally less developed area) for
state owned institutions.
“As a reminder, it has also become
imperative to stress once more, that all
admissions for the 2014/ 2015 academic
session will end on Friday, October 31,
2014. All institutions are hereby enjoined
to adhere to the stipulated date, as late
submissions will not be entertained.”
