Earlyface

A preliminary investigation carried out by earlyface, through a JAMB Staff, has
revealed that the board will notify candidates of the new school/course they will
be posted, to adopt the new policy of candidate distribution.
According to the JAMB Staff, "Some of the candidates who scored more than 200
and are being rejected for some courses, happened based on the individual cut-
off marks set by the institution for those particular courses. In summary too many
students applied for those courses and the University can only admit a fraction of
the candidates who applied. JAMB will therefore notify candidates of appropriate
Universities/Course they can apply for."
It is therefore our deduction that these rejected candidates will be sent to study
the same courses in other Universities of lesser competition. This policy also
ensures that best candidates in the country are admitted, even if it means posting
them to other institutions.
The new policy to evenly distribute candidates by JAMB has met heavy criticism
based on the fact that forms were sold for candidates to Change their Course/
Institution. If JAMB knew they would effect such a policy, they should never have
sold Change of Course/institution forms. This makes us believe that it is quite
possible that Change of Course/institution Candidates will get preferential
treatment in this new policy.
