The Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will close the Direct Entry
e-Registration portal on Sept.15.
Fabian
Benjamin, the Head of Media and Information of the Board, said this in an
interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Friday.
Mr. Benjamin
advised candidates yet to register to do so before the deadline, saying that
there might be no postponement of the deadline.
He also
advised JAMB candidates to re-upload their ‘O’ level results in the new portal
as the previous portal did not allow for the capturing of candidates level of
grades.
He also said
that candidates should use the approved Computer Based Test (CBT) Centres for
the exercise.
According to
him, the new portal has provided a platform for the detailed category of the
West African Examination Result (WAEC) of candidates for proper placement.
“The first
platform that was used for the exercise does not create room for the capturing
of the levels of grade such as C4, C5, C6, B1, B2, B3 and A1,” he said.
“You know in
some schools, all these ‘O’ level grades are being considered.
“For
example, if you have B1 and another one has B3 and there is no room for
separation in the platform schools may not be able to ascertain the level of
grades some schools will consider the O’ level grades.
“And the
first platform just stated A, B, C, so with this new platform, there will be
room for the download of the level of grades. Somebody who has B1 will stand a
better chance than the person with B3.
“So, we use
this new platform to capture all those detailed categories of WAEC result so
that no grade of result will be left uploaded.’’
Benjamin,
however, said that any candidate who felt that what he or she uploaded before
was enough might not bother.
