No More Post UTME(Written Test), See National Policy on Admissions into tertiary institutions in Nigeria 

“The only difference between this year’s admission process and what has always been the practice is the policy that there should be no written post-UTME test. All other processes should be and would be as they have always been,” JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oyolede said.

He tasked the participants, which included admission officers, registrars, directors and several stakeholders to act with focus on that which would be beneficial to the largest number of Nigerians.
