5 things to consider the new JAMB point-based admission

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has received the point framework alternative as the premise for its admission procedure for 2016.

The new methodology was settled upon after a weeklong meeting between JAMB, colleges and other tertiary foundations' managers.

The admission procedure would work for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination hopefuls and direct section understudies while colleges are to charge expenses for screening of competitors toward the end of the procedure for admission.

Support's temporary admission must go before college's

Prior to a hopeful can be considered for screening, he/she probably been offered a temporary admission by JAMB.

This means without a temporary admission from JAMB, a hopeful is ineligible for thought by any tertiary organization.

Admission to rely on upon focuses

Pillar's temporary admission will now rely on upon the count of focuses accomplished by a competitor.

The focuses are equally spread out between a competitor's O' Level and JAMB results "to give a level-playing field to all", JAMB administration says.

One sitting still has the high ground

"In the primary case, any applicant who submits one and only result which contains his/her pertinent subjects as of now has 10 focuses. The exam could be NECO, WASSCE, November/December WASSCE and so forth, yet any hopeful who has two sittings just gets 2 focuses."

Basically, a hopeful who has one and only sitting is liable to get a bigger number of focuses than the individuals who have numerous sittings.

Cutoff imprints to be in type of "focuses" not "stamps"

"Cutoff imprints will be discharged by the organizations this year as focuses and not checks."

"On the off chance that a school pronounces its cutoff mark for Medicine as 90 focuses and JAMB allows an applicant with 250 a temporary admission yet his/her aggregate focuses misses the mark concerning the 90 focuses, then he/she will lose the admission. So the temporary admission is only a necessary chore, not the end in itself."

How the point framework functions

The hopeful's aggregate focuses are gotten from the "O" Level evaluations and JAMB scores'.

Every evaluation would have its equal point; A=6 marks, B=4 marks, C=3 marks, so the better the hopefuls' O' Level evaluations, the better his or her odds of securing admission.

The following point is the UTME scores where every score range has its identical point which can be compressed along these lines: a hopeful with 180-185 gets 20 focuses; a competitor with 186-190 gets 21 focuses; an applicant who gets between 200-250 in JAMB has 24-33 focuses while that who scores 300-400 is qualified for 44-60 focuses.

Pillar says tertiary establishments are permitted to charge applicants expenses for screening.
