ISSUES TO NOTE
– The list of candidates that have scored above
the minimum cut-off mark, and are NOT
admitted may be forwarded to other institutions
that need them for consideration. Especially
their Second (2nd) Choice institutions of
preferences.
Assess your admission chance:
The rules:
1. Screening of candidates shall be for those
offered Provisional Admissions ONLY.
2. No written examination to be conducted.
3. Verification of Course Requirements (O levels
or A levels).
4. Verification of valid JAMB results by checking
i.Online Result Slip
ii.Printout
iii.Provisional Admission Letter
iv.Photo Album
v.biometrics
vi.check list
vii. Before a candidate can seat be considered
for screening, he/she must have been given
provisional admission by Jamb.
viii. Institutions are free to source from other
Course(s) to compensate for SHORTFALL in any
of the criteria.
The point system:
This is the most critical part of the process.
Jamb’s provisional admission no longer makes
much sense this year, your points tally will
decide your faith. The points are evenly spread
out between your O’level and Jamb results to
provide a level playing field for all.
In the first case, any candidate who submits
only one result which contains his/her relevant
subjects already has 10 points, the exam could
be NECO, WAEC, GCE etc, but any candidate
who has 2 sittings only gets 3 points. So this
means that aspirants with only one result are at
an advantage but only just.
The next point grades fall into the O’level
grades. Each grades has it’s equivalent point,
A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better
your grades the better your chances.
The next point is the UTME scores. Each score
range has its equivalent point which can be
summarized thus, 180-200=20-23 marks,
200-250=24-33 points, 251-300=34-43,
300-400=44-60 points. Each categories contains 5
Jamb results per point added, for example a
candidate with 180-185 gets 20points, a
candidate with 186-190 gets 21 points etc.
Points system for DE will be released soon.
– It then comes down to the fact that fees will
still be charged for screening, it depends on the
school as well.

– Catchment and ELDS will still be used!
