The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board will, on July 14, hold its 2015 policy meeting to commence the process of this year’s admission exercise.
Over 1.4 million candidates sat for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in March, using the computer-based Test mode.
A statement by the JAMB Public Relations Officer, Fabian Benjamin, on Monday said the meeting would define the criteria for this year’s admission.
He said, “This meeting defines the criteria for the 2015 admission. The cut-off point is arrived at after an extensive deliberation by all stakeholders, which include vice-chancellors, provosts of colleges of education and rectors of polytechnics, monotechnics, innovative enterprise institutions and other stakeholders.

“The exercise is interesting because of the success witnessed with the first full-blown Computer Based Test. The exercise has proved that our education system still has hope. Do not forget that in any educational system, world over, the examination process makes the difference. The goal of national development through education becomes like a mirage if examination bodies get it wrong. Today, the board has got it right.”
According to him, JAMB’s CBT will also contribute largely to the success of the crusade against corruption, as the fight cannot succeed if examination malpractice continues in the educational system.
Benjamin added that the eradication of malpractice in examinations would go a long way in addressing some of the challenges in the country.
Until the conduct of the full-blown CBT, JAMB had combined it with the option of Paper Pencil Test and Dual Based Test.
The exercise took place for over two weeks in 389 centres in Nigeria and seven foreign centres, including Accra in Ghana, Buea in Republic of Benin, London in United Kingdom, Jeddah in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Johannesburg in South Africa.
