2. No written examination to be conducted.


3. Verification of Course Requirements (O levels or A levels).


4. Verification of valid JAMB results by checking i.Online Result Slip ii.Printout iii.Provisional Admission Letter iv.Photo Album v.Check list vi.Biometrics vii. Before a candidate can seat be considered for screening, he/she must have been given provisional admission by Jamb. viii. Institutions are free to source from other Course(s) to compensate for SHORTFALL in any of the criteria. The point system: This is the most critical part of the process. Jamb’s provisional admission no longer makes much sense this year, your points tally will decide your faith.


The points are evenly spread out between your O’level and Jamb results to provide a level playing field for all. In the first case, any candidate who submits only one result which contains his/her relevant subjects already has 10 points, the exam could be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate who has 2 sittings only gets 3 points. So this means that aspirants with only one result are at an advantage but only just.


The next point grades fall into the O’level grades. Each grades has it’s equivalent point, A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better your grades the better your chances.


The next point is the UTME scores. Each score range has its equivalent point which can be summarized thus, 180-200=20-23 marks, 200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43, 300-400=44-60 points. Each categories contains 5 Jamb results per point added, for example a candidate with 180-185 gets 20points, a candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points etc.


Points system for DE will be released soon. – It then comes down to the fact that fees will still be charged for screening, it depends on the school as well.


– Catchment and ELDS will still be used!

Post-UTME: Nans demands refund for admission seekers

The National Association of Nigerian Students has asked tertiary institutions which have collected fees for post-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination test from admission seekers to refund the applicants.


The Deputy Coordinator of NANS in the South-West, Mr. Saheed Afolabi, said this in an interview with our correspondent in Osogbo, Osun State capital, on Saturday.


The association said students were in support of the decision by the Federal Government to scrap post-UTME, saying institutions which have gone ahead to conduct the test after the order of the government should refund the applicants.


The NANS leader stated that students would storm any recalcitrant institution and ensure the fees were refunded by force. He said, “We thank the Federal Ministry of Education and the Minister of Education, Mr. Adamu Adamu, for taking the bold step by canceling post-UTME.


Many tertiary institutions have turned the poor students and their parents into a source of making money. “They know they have space for 1,500 students but they would collect money from 20,000 admission seekers to make money, which they eventually embezzled.


But thank God this has been stopped. “However, there are still some institutions which have gone ahead to collect money from admission seekers; these ones should pay the students back their money, otherwise we will mobilise students to such schools and force them to make refund.
