Don’t Be Deceived: Over 856,000 Candidates Already Admitted in 2024

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified that over 856,000 candidates have already been admitted into various universities and tertiary institutions in Nigeria for the 2024/2025 academic session. This information was revealed by Prof. Oloyede, the JAMB Registrar, in response to claims that millions of candidates are not getting admission.

Facts and Figures

According to Prof. Oloyede, out of 960,700 candidates who scored 140 and above, JAMB has already admitted 856,263 candidates. This is a significant number, and admissions are still ongoing. The JAMB Registrar emphasized that it’s not accurate to compare the number of admitted candidates with the total number of applicants, which is over 2 million.

Some institutions have just started their 2024/2025 admissions last month, and the admission process is still ongoing. This means that more candidates will be admitted in the coming weeks.

Admission Statistics

The admission statistics are quite revealing. For instance, among candidates who scored 300 and above, 7,000 out of 9,000 have already been admitted. This shows that the admission process is based on merit, and candidates who score high marks are more likely to be admitted.

Addressing Claims of Bias

Some people have been claiming that the admission process is biased, with some institutions allegedly favoring candidates from certain states or regions. However, Prof. Oloyede has dismissed these claims, saying that the data shows that most of the admitted candidates are from states like Kano and Kaduna.

According to him, it’s not about bias, but about performance. Candidates who perform well in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are more likely to be admitted, regardless of their state of origin.

Importance of Data

The JAMB Registrar emphasized the importance of relying on data rather than speculation. Data speaks louder than speculation, and it’s essential to look at the facts and figures rather than making assumptions or claims that are not supported by evidence.

Conclusion

In conclusion, over 856,000 candidates have already been admitted into various universities and tertiary institutions in Nigeria for the 2024/2025 academic session. The admission process is ongoing, and more candidates will be admitted in the coming weeks.

It’s essential to rely on data and facts rather than speculation and claims that are not supported by evidence. The JAMB Registrar has made it clear that the admission process is based on merit, and candidates who perform well are more likely to be admitted.

Let’s look at the facts and figures rather than making assumptions or claims that are not supported by evidence. This will help us to have a more accurate understanding of the admission process and the number of candidates who have been admitted.
