The information below was released by JAMB through their twitter handle to both UTME and DE candidates. This was done to allay the fear of the public about the cut off mark which was released (160). And to give assurance to those that score higher marks.
Candidates with higher marks will be considered first. Institutions will still admit using established criteria of merit and others. Institutions will still admit using established criteria of merit and others.
The 160 cut off mark doesn’t mean an automatic ticket for admission.
JAMB introduces Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to streamline admission exercise & give candidates the right to track admission”
Candidates are advised not to apply for change of institution and change of course to institutions that have already done their Post UTME.
Candidates with correction of data and Regularization issues should confirm that their indemnity form is sent to the nearest JAMB office.
Candidates are advised to kindly disregard reports making round on the Honorable Minister stating the refund of payment for PUTME.
However the Minister would certainly direct the refund for candidates who have paid more than the directed N2000.
We strongly advise against changing to any Institution whose portal is closed for PUTME.
For UTME students, all you have to do is to prepare for your post-UTME test or screening. Visit your school portal for information regarding post-UTME screening.
Information on ePINS
Our Attention of has been drawn to cases of candidates who have bought ePINS and were not able to proceed with their registration.
1. This was caused essentially by A very high rate of candidates buying ePINS without creating their profile first.
2. Incorrect email address provided at the bank teller.
3. Recent enforcement of email validation of candidates emails. Candidates who have not created their profile properly would be affected.
4. Unforeseen technical issues in the PIN vending system.
JAMB hereby advises all candidates as follows:
a. Candidates are NOT to buy new pins in the case of invalid pins. The cause of the invalid pin has been investigated
b. All candidates having invalid pins responses have been captured on d system nd wil receive their PIN details on or before Monday 27th March
c. Emails with candidate name, email and valid pins will be sent to candidates.
JAMB therefore has taken the following steps to ensure the continuation of the registration process.
All candidates MUST create their profiles before proceeding to buy d ePIN. D ePIN vendors (Banks) can create the profile before vending the pin.
Each candidate’s email address will now be verified on the system before ePINS are vended
Any candidate with an incorrect email address will not be served. It therefore requires entering the same valid email address twice.
All candidates are to ensure that they provide valid phone numbers.
Candidates are encouraged to utilise only Jamb accredited Centers (List available on our website)
No one should patronize fraudsters, many of whom are now in Police custody. Only CBT Centres accredited by JAMB can do valid registration.
