The CEO and Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede has commended the University Of Ibadan (U.I) for their transparency on admission issues, calling them the most transparent university nationwide.
In his words: “the university would never compromise admission criteria in terms of merit list, catchment areas, and other considerations for any candidate. Once a candidate meets up with admission criteria such as cut-off marks and has the right Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) subject combination for the chosen course, such a student would certainly be admitted.”
He also urged any candidate who wrote the last Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and chose UI or any other institution and met all the required criteria to be offered admission but wasn’t, to report such cases to JAMB with proof and they would look into it. “We will be glad to intervene,” he promised.
He also warned that any CBT centre found to encourage illegal activity or exam malpractice will be deregistered. The JAMB registrar further disclosed that 410.517 candidates had been registered on Wednesday, 29/04/2021 in 785 CBT centers across the nation and that the target is to register at least 60,000 candidates daily.
