This means that candidates will now be allowed to apply for only one choice of public university, while the new registration platforms now first choice, second choice, third choice and fourth choice and not most preferred, preferred choice
In a statement by spokesperson of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the agency said the recent development, which took over three decades, will increase the opportunities available to candidates as most public universities do not consider candidates on the second choice list.
He said, “We have designed a Central Admissions Processing System where the Board will interface with the institutions and ensure the compliance of this reform.
“The summary is that no candidate will be admitted with awaiting result.
