IMPORTANT NOTICE ON NEW POLICY
ON ELIGIBILITY OF CANDIDATES FOR
2015/2016 ADMISSION EXERCISE

The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) at its
2015 Combined Policy Meeting, held
on July 14, 2015 in Abuja,
announced the adoption of a policy
whereby candidates of universities
with surplus applicants for the
Unified Matriculation Examinations
(UTME) are reassigned to other
universities with lower number of
candidates than their capacities.
According to the Registrar/CEO of
JAMB, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the
policy portends two benefits:
+ It will be beneficial to “needy
Universities” that is universities with
lower number of candidates than
their capacities, as this will ensure
that these universities will have more
candidates to admit.
+ Candidates will have better
chances for admission in the
universities they are re-assigned to,
contrary to situations where they
would await admission in the
universities of their first choices
until the admission exercise closes
and they forfeit admission in that
session.
This policy has been implemented
with immediate effect. Consequently,
the eligibility for Post-UTME
screening in the University of Lagos
like other universities in Nigeria has
been determined by JAMB. In effect,
only candidates whose names were
forwarded to the University of Lagos
by JAMB are eligible for the
2015/2016 post-UTME screening. All
candidates should log on
admissions.unilag.edu.ng for more
information.
