Post utme cancellation  does not stop screening – NUC

The Public Relations officer of the Nigerian Universities Commission,
Ibrahim Yakasai, has announced that the new directive scrapping Post-
UTME does not hinder universities from screening students sent to them
for admission by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB.
The Federal Government in the past week ordered that the examinations
usually organised by universities in Nigeria for admission seekers after
the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations should be scrapped.
According to the government, “If there was absolute confidence in the
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, there should be no need for
Universities to conduct internal examinations to determine the fate of
candidates seeking admissions.”

While addressing newsmen, Yakasai said the new directive does not
restrict any university from screening students sent to them by the
exams board.
The usual practice was that during admission, universities and other
schools are allowed to do elementary screening. The screening include
actual verification of Jamb slip, crosschecking of documents for
admission, medical test, age check and a host of other prerequisite for
securing of admission.
