Live Update of Ongoing JAMB Policy Meeting With VCs, Rectors, etc

The JAMB 2017 Cut-off marks for Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges of education are expected to be announced any moment from now.

The cut-off marks will be announced at the 2017 JAMB Policy meeting which is expected to end tomorrow.

The outcome of this meeting will equally signal the official commencement of the 2017/2018 admission process.


Below are some updates via Tweeter of the ongoing JAMB meeting with Vice Chancellors of Universities, Rectors of Polytechnics, Colleges of Education and other higher institutions on the modalities of admission for the 2017/2018 academic year.

• Universities are not permitted to hold on to a candidate for a long period. Once a university cannot admit, she is expected to release candidates to other universities.
• Once a candidate accepts an admission, the window is closed for such candidate for that year . These are the benefits of the new system -- jamb
• The new system is a secured one so all stake holders should relax -- jamb
• Beware of the information you submit while registering . Your date of birth can cost you a lot when you are to be mobilized for NYSC - Prof Oloyede
• We are introducing a process to ensure admission is not delayed -- Jamb
• Before Now, A Candidate applies for Medicine and because the University needs more students in Agric, such student is moved to the department. The damage is caused because such student won't get to know until a later date. 
• With the new system, such is now a thing of the past -- Jamb
• With The New system, No candidates can upload fake O level results as done before Now -- jamb
• All universities still have the flexibility to create their cut off marks. This will be done between now and tomorrow.
• All universities are now expected to obey and comply with the timeline of admission with the new system.
•  In fact, All universities will input their cut off marks this afternoon after lunch - jamb
• All universities will download  the lists of students who chose them today also . Meanwhile there is a risk in this -- details later.
• With the information here, POST UTME screening results is part of the admission processing, pls note.
• Jamb will keep suggesting to universities qualified students . Please Note : *Suggest*
• B like say jamb wan surprise us with all this new system I dey hear upadan oo
•  No Automatic admission for those without the necessary requirements . And for those that met the requirements , jamb will contact the said institution to know why they are not admitted yet. -- Jamb

Lol u guys should be expecting ur cutoff marks anytime from now

• There is a new system. 
• Let's just wait and see what it entails
• The fact that they will no longer b changing somebody's course entice me d most oo

 Eh ehhh some people jst want to go to university ooo even if it is water science. They will inform u first before changing it to know if u want it or not. They will make it fast so that you can still apply to another school if u are not interested.

All higher institutions are present here in Abuja. Good news coming our students way.
Private universities can now smile as admissions will be timely.
