JAMB tweaks admission deadlines and scores evaluation
2025-07-14 | Admin
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board’s (JAMB) 2025 Policy Meeting has delivered some massive updates for students, parents, and education stakeholders in Nigeria. In the board’s just concluded annual policy meeting a lot of changes were made, such as admission deadlines, and shift in how scores are evaluated, among others. But cynicism seems to have greeted the development. Ishaq Oloyede, registrar/chief executive officer at JAMB, announced various policy changes from the policy meeting among which are that the tertiary institutions entrance examination being conducted by the board is now all about ranking, and not necessarily just scores. “JAMB is not an achievement test; it is a ranking exam,” Oloyede said. This simply means that a candidate’s admission chances do not just depend on how well he or she scored, but on how his or her score compares to other candidates.
