JAMB GIVES DETAILS OF 78,127 CANDIDATES THAT HAVEN’T YET ACCEPTED ADMISSION 2019

The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) which released the list, said the affected candidates were offered provisional admission for 2019 admission  exercise but haven’t accepted the offer. The 78,127 candidates were offered provisional admission by public and personal universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, institutes, and vocational institutions.

Among the courses offered the candidates include Medicine and Surgery, Pharmacy, Accounting, Mass Communication, Engineering, Economics, political science, Biochemistry, Nursing, education courses, English, mechanical engineering, and a number of other programmes offered by polytechnics and colleges of education. Private universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education dominated the list of institutions while state universities had the most important candidates offered provisional admission for 2019 that are yet to simply accept the offer. The Education Report gathered that the affected candidates didn’t accept the admission offered by the institutions via the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS). The candidates were also expected to reject the offer but didn’t activate either of the 2 options.

Other reasons include their inability to pay the high tuition fees for candidates offered admission by private institutions, some travelled out of the country and while others rejected the offered supported wrong course given to such candidates.
