After all the recent confusions and developments from Nigerian education sector on the mode of admitting students into tertiary institutions, most jambites have been left confused over their JAMB admission consideration status 2016. This is because there is no more aptitude test or post-UTME to be written. There is no need to worry anymore as you can now check your 2016 JAMB admission consideration status.

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB has recently released a portal for all the 2016 JAMB applicants who made the cut off mark of 180 and  met other admission criteria during the last UTME (JAMB 2016) examinations to login and check if JAMB have considered them for admission or not in the 2016/2017 session.

The portal to check JAMB Admission consideration Status enables the candidates to check which school, department or courses in which they have been considered for admission by JAMB after JAMB LOGIN with their 2016 JAMB registration numbers.

It will be recalled that the federal government of Nigeria had recently cancelled the conduct of UME or aptitude test by individual universities for 2016/2017 session in order to allow JAMB to do their work.

The decision also prevents what the Nigerian Government saw as extortion of candidates on the part of the universities and other tertiary institutions.

2016 JAMB Admission Criteria

JAMB subsequently made it clear that the Criteria for 2016/2017 admission will be Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE)/Advanced Level results for verification and clearing purposes.

JAMB went on to add that WAEC, NECO and NBTE results or their equivalent are acceptable as matriculation requirements with at least 5 credits.

Admission would be based on three legally backed pillars of: merit, catchment areas and educationally less developed states (ELDS).

Congratulations to all the Jambites who have succeeded in joining the aluta group this year after being considered for admission by JAMB which also automatically makes them great Nigerian students.
