Prof. Oloyede, said
these in his speech delivered during the ongoing technical meeting on 2016
admissions to first choice institutions at the Bayero University Kano (BUK), on
Tuesday in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
He also said the
organisation is committed to ensuring that admissions are concluded before or
by the approved deadline of November 30, 2016, because
"to whom much is given, a lot is expected."
The chief executive of
JAMB further warned that no name of candidate must emanate from any other source
outside the list prepared and recommended by the tertiary institutions.
ITRealms recalls that
each year, the Board convenes the meeting for the placement of suitably
qualified candidates into tertiary institutions taking into consideration the vacancies
available in the institutions; guidelines approved for each institution by
their respective proprietors; preference expressed for the institutions and
courses by the candidates.
As usual, he said, the
2016 admissions, will be as smooth as ever, stressing that the only difference
between this year’s admissions process and what has always been the practice,
is the policy that there should be no written post UTME test.
“All other processes
should and will be as they have always been. The Senate or Academic Board of
each institution has the prerogative of admitting candidates to their
respective institutions subject of course only to National Policies,” he said.
Oloyede went on to
stated that these policies include guidelines stipulated by the proprietors of
the institutions, 60:40 (Science/Art) ratio for Conventional Universities, 80:20
(Science/Art) ratio for Non-Conventional Universities, 70:30
(Technology/Non-Technology) ratio for National Diploma Awarding Institutions, Use
of 2016 JAMB UTME results printouts for all candidates who scored 180 and
above, adherence to subject combinations of various courses as specified by the
Senate/Academic Board and included in the 2016 UTME Brochure, adherence to the
2016 Admissions Quota as prescribed by the Regulatory Bodies (NUC/NBTE/NCCE)
and for Federal Universities, the criteria stipulated by the Federal Executive
Council concerning Merit, Catchment and Educationally Less Developed States
should be complied with.
In the discharge of this
National assignment, the registrar noted it is important that the meeting act
with focus on what is beneficial to the largest number of Nigerians.
“We must avoid adding to
the burden of the masses of our people who rightly yearn for higher education
as a veritable means of active participation in public life,” he advised.
While urging work hard
and exhibition of commitment, synergy and cooperation between the Board and the
institutions, he assured that the hands of fellowship which his predecessors
have extended to the institutions would be strengthened for the advancement of national
goals.
He emphasised that it
must be made categorically clear that the task of JAMB is coordination and not
substitution of the traditional responsibilities of the Senates cum Academic
Boards of tertiary institutions.
Consequently, no
candidate must emanate from any other source (JAMB inclusive) outside the list
prepared and recommended by the institutions. JAMB has the right to reject
candidates for non-compliance with extant rules and regulations but will not be
allowed to substitute or originate any names without the prior concurrence of
the institutions.
