JAMB Withdraws 2016 Admission List

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board [JAMB] has withdrawn the list of recommended candidates for admission earlier sent to tertiary institutions.

The examination body said this was to ensure that the University Senate performs its statutory responsibility of conducting the selection of candidates.

It is also to refer it to JAMB for confirmation in line with the admission criteria of merit, catchment and educationally disadvantaged states as directed by the Minister of Education, Alhaji Adamu Adamu, at the policy committee meeting.

JAMB in a statement on Sunday said the earlier list was sent to help fast track the process of admission so as to allow other tiers of institutions also conduct their admission.

The statement, signed by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, added:

“Candidates should not panic because this is part of the process of the 2016 admission exercise. JAMB regrets any inconvenience this decision would have caused the tertiary institutions

“The Board regrets any inconvenience it’s proactive step would have caused the tertiary institutions.”
