Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the admission processes for 2017\/2018 academic session will commence on Friday, 15th September and close on Wednesday, 31st January, 2018.<\/p>\n
According to the JAMB Head of JAMB Information and Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who made this known on Friday in Abuja,\u00a0the direct entry applications for admission would close September 15.<\/p>\n
He explained that students could only secure admission after they might have passed through the rudiments of admission processes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have come up with Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis entails that once candidates are admitted and the institution approves, then JAMB will approve, the information about the candidates will be keyed into CAPS automatically.<\/p>\n
\u201cCandidates can monitor their admission process through CAPS online and those who want to get admission letter can do so by printing such online.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
According to him, CAPS will make record gathering easy and give easy access to students to print their admission letters among other things.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we are trying to do now is that we are looking at the perimeter realistically; we decided to come up with new strategy aimed at ensuring the actual data.<\/p>\n
In a related development, Benjamin said that the 120 minimum cut-off mark would not in any way affect the nation\u2019s educational standard negatively as being alleged by some people.
