JAMB Explain Why Candidates Can No Longer Apply to Two Public Universities

The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Saturday, 25th February, 2017 disclosed that applicants for the JAMB 2017 UTME will not be able to choose two (2) public universities during the registration.

This was made known through the board’s twitter handle. It reads: “candidates can select NCE as their choice up to three times I.e 1st choice, 2nd choice and 3rd choice.

But they are not allowed to select two public Universities as choices

If candidates select a public University as their degree awarding choice, they are allowed to select a private University as another choice.

According to the Mr. Benjamin Head of Information JAMB, the Board took the restrictions because candidates hardly get admissions into their second and third choice universities.
“Yes we restricted the choice to one but candidates can choose as many colleges or polytechnics,” he said.

“We discovered it was of no use choosing a university as second choice when in actual sense they can’t even accommodate their first choices,” Jamb.
