Read Time:1 Minute, 41 Second
According to the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB), all procedures have been set up for the start of admission into the country’s postsecondary educational institutions.
It further stated that Thursday, 2024, will be the date of the eagerly anticipated annual policy meeting.
The board’s weekly news bulletin, which was posted on X on Monday, made this revelation.
The bulletin states that Tahir Mamman, the minister of education, will preside over the 2024 policy conference, which is scheduled for July 18 in Abuja.
This year’s admission will begin with approval from the policy meeting.
The bulletin stated, “This year’s exercise will also feature the National Tertiary Admissions’ Performance-Merit Award, NATAP-M Awards, where the overall winner will receive N500 million, and other consolation winners will share N250 million collectively.
“The policy meeting, usually attended by vice-chancellors of universities, rectors of polytechnics, monotechnics, and innovation enterprise institutes, provosts of colleges of education, and other critical stakeholders, will consider and approve the guidelines for the 2024 admission exercise.
“The meeting will review the performance of the 2023 admissions exercise and the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME performance of candidates.
“The minimum admission scores, an aggregation of individual institutions’ submissions, will be approved at the meeting.
“This is not a cut-off mark, as often misconstrued, but a minimum score that no institution should go below. The decisions made at the meeting, chaired by the Minister of Education, form the guiding norms for admission and are a collective decision, not solely that of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB.
“No institution is expected to commence the admission process until after the policy meeting, as the guidelines regulating the year’s admission exercise are determined at the meeting with the endorsement of the Minister of Education.
“The meeting declares the commencement of the year’s admission exercise, setting the grand norms, and any institution that violates these collective norms will face sanctions.”
