The registrar said for just 78,000 available spaces for Medicine across Nigeria’s tertiary institutions, 400,000 candidates applied.
said about 600,000 of 1,116,021 eligible candidates who sat the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination have been offered admission into various universities in the country.
JAMB Registrar, Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed this on Saturday during an ongoing policy meeting with heads of Nigerian tertiary institutions.He, however, said admission processes for the 2021/2022 admissions are still ongoing, citing the eight-month industrial action of the university workers in 2022 as the reason for the elongated process.Of all the 1,867,743 candidates who took part in the 2022 UTME tests, only 1,615,656 scored at least 140 on the tests.
He said some of the candidates who scored above the minimum points and were regarded as eligible candidates were only ‘trial candidates’ who have not sat or possessed the mandatory O’level results. He also said other situations that make it look as if the candidates aren’t qualified because they were not admitted is due to what he described as the rigidity of candidates who he said stick to only one course “where in most cases have more competition than others.”
