The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) and tertiary institutions have reached agreement to end admissions for the 2020/2021 Academic session by 15th June, 2021.
The decision was collectively taken at a virtual meeting attended by heads of trtiary institutions last week. JAMB’s Head of Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen, Sunday.
The statement says Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede used the meeting to know the progress tertiary institutions had made on the 2020/21 admissions scale.
It noted the goal of the interactive meeting was to forestall an endless admission regime generated by the series of disruptions to daily life occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the statement, the meeting would enable the board to put necessary machinery in place for the 2021/2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME/DE) registration exercise.
It noted that only 30 per cent of institutions had started admissions into the 2020/2021 Academic Session.
