The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it is considering a new date for the commencement of the 2020/2021 admission exercise to accommodate disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why JAMB is Reviewing the Post-UTME Timeline
In a statement signed by JAMB's Head of Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board scheduled a consultative meeting with all heads of tertiary institutions on August 10, 2020 to review the earlier agreed dates for Post-UTME screening and admission processes.
Dr. Benjamin explained that in line with JAMB's commitment to equity and fairness, every candidate must be given an equal opportunity to compete for available admission spaces. The meeting aims to ensure that institutions either delay or extend their Post-UTME screening exercises so that candidates sitting the 2020 O'Level examinations (WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB) can participate once their results are released.
