How Your 2016/2017 Admission Will Be Determined - Must Read

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
has finally released the modalities for this
year's admission process, in other words, the
method of admission.
We would like to educate the Jambites and
other DE candidates on how it is done.
This new method uses a point system that is
easy to understand, the whole process is
divided into main points as follows;
1) Before a candidate can be considered for
screening, he/she must have been given
provisional admission by Jamb. The Jamb
admission checker portal is going to be opened
soon for this process, so praying is all you can do
now.
2) 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 10points, the exam could
be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate
who has 2 sittings only gets 2 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.
3) It then comes down to the fact that fees will
still be charged for screening, it depends on the
school as well.
4) Catchment and Educational Less Developed
State ELDS will still be used! Merit contains 45%
of the total candidates for a particular course,
Catchment contains 35% and ELDS and staff
lists contains the rest.
5) Cutoff marks will be released by schools this
year in the form of points and not marks. If a
school declares it's cutoff mark for Medicine as
90 points and Jamb grants a candidate with 250
a provisional admission but his/her total points
falls short of the 90 points, then he/she will lose
the admission. So the provisional admission is
just a means to an end, not the end in itself.
Good Luck Guys

*5.Institutions are free to source from other
Course(s) to compensate for SHORTFALL in any

If you have 1 sitting.. it's automatically 10 like
dah for you
Calculate you O'level aggregate of the 5 subject
A1 = 6
B2, B3 = 4
C4,C5,C6 = 3
Let's say one has 2 A's and 3 B's
6+6+4+4+4 = 24
Assuming one had 250
In utme = 33
Add all together
10 +24 + 33 = 67
Aggregate = 67
For jamb
Soo for jamb
180-185=20pts
186-190=21pts
191-195=22pts
196-200=23pts
201-205=24pts
206-210=25pts...
In the order above
to make the 60points obtainable for
396-400=60pts..
For instance, an aspirant with 1 sittings O'level
(10pts) 2 A1s(12pts) 3Cs(9pts) and 292 in jamb
(42pts) will then have a total screening score of
73%
