JAMB 2018 Candidates Are Now Allowed Choose Only One Public University

Apart from the Jamb CBT Update, Other Updates have followed recently. One of the new updates that started in 2017 is that Jamb Candidates Are Now Allowed Choose Only One Public University. Back in the days, Jamb candidates were allowed to choose more than one University and Polytechnic.

Unfortunately, Jamb 2018 candidates will not have that opportunity. You are now allowed to choose only one Public university. See details below:

 Update For Jamb 2018 Candidates

The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that candidates for the 2018 UTME will not be able to choose two public universities during the registration.

This was disclosed through the board’s twitter handle. It reads: “candidates can select NCE as their choice up to three times I.e 1st choice, 2nd choice and 3rd choice.

“But they are not allowed to select two public universities as choices. If candidates select a public university as their degree awarding choices, they are allowed to select a private university as another choice.”

According to Mr. Benjamin Head of Information JAMB, the Board took the restrictions because candidates hardly get admissions into their second and third choice universities.
“Yes we restricted the choice to one but candidates can choose as many colleges or polytechnics,” he said.

“We discovered it was of no use choosing a university as second choice when in actual sense they can’t even accommodate their first choices,” the JAMB official said.

What do you think of this development and the reason given by JAMB for this? Anyway, Jarking is the way forward. I recommend that you start practising with past questions.
