The Policy Meeting on Admissions into Nigeria's Tertiary Institutions has been scheduled for Thursday, July 18, 2024 by JAMB. Prof. Tahir Mamman, Hon. Minister of Education, will lead the meeting, which will also include other key stakeholders in the education sector.
These critical stakeholders include the heads of regulatory agencies such as the National University Commission (NUC), the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the National Council for Colleges of Education (NCCE), the heads of the country's tertiary institutions, and the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The admissions policy meeting sets the tone for every given year's admissions exercise, as well as the development of admission guidelines. It also provides application statistics, evaluates candidates' performance, and establishes acceptable minimum admissions standards for all tertiary schools in Nigeria for the current year.
During the exercise, the Registrar will present reports on the recently concluded Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and ongoing Direct Entry (DE) applications, as well as an analysis of key performance indicators that could shape the government's admission policy directions. Furthermore, the gathering would inform stakeholders on the key difficulties that arose during the previous year's admissions process.
In addition, the policy meeting would consider candidates' performance in the current year's UTME to establish the year's minimum admissible score. It should be noted that stakeholders had already agreed on a minimum admission requirement for admission to universities, polytechnics, and institutes of education.
Furthermore, the meeting would determine the year's admission requirements while kicking off the admission process for the current year; discuss unresolved issues from the previous academic year; and, at the same time, assess stakeholders' compliance with existing advisories and propose further amendments as needed. As usual, we will provide you with updates from the meeting on that day.
