Admission Processes For 2017/2018 Begins – JAMB -By Atinuke Ogunleye

Dr Fabian Benjamin, the head of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Information and Media, has said that the admission processes for 2017/2018 has began and will close on Jan.31, 2018.

He said this in Bwari, Abuja recently to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that students could secure admission after they have passed through the requirements of the admission processes.

“We have come up with Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) this year.”

“This entails that once candidates are admitted and the institution approves, then JAMB will approve, the information about the candidates will be keyed into CAPS automatically.”

“Candidates can monitor their admission process through CAPS online and those who want to get admission letter can do so by printing such online.’’

According to him, CAPS will make record gathering easy and give easy access to students to print their admission letters among other things.

“What we are trying to do now is that we are looking at the perimeter realistically; we decided to come up with new strategy aimed at ensuring the actual data.”

Benjamin said to NAN that the minimum cut-off mark set would not affect the nation’s educational standard negatively, “The cut off mark was not the decision of JAMB, but the heads of tertiary institutions at the policy meeting.”

“They decided that their institutions should be allowed to determine their own cut-off point based on their own peculiarities, but nobody for whatever reason should go below 120.”

“What we are all doing is to ensure that the power given to tertiary institutions is based on policies which established them.’’

He said most tertiary institutions did not adhere to the 180 cut-off mark that was given last year.
