The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB says, post-UTME screening for the 2020 admission processes will now begin not earlier than 7 September, 2020 in universities, polytechnics and colleges of education in the country.
The board said, the shift in the date of the admission process from the earlier announced August 21, is to accommodate candidates who will be taking part in this year’s Senior School Certificate Examination, SSCE.
JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, made this known on Monday, after a consultative virtual meeting with Vice Chancellors, Rectors and Provosts of tertiary education institutions.

JAMB said, institutions whose post-UTME screening is mandatory for candidates would have to spread such exercise in two phases, which are September 7 to October 4, and November 18, to mop up those who are taking their school certificate examination.
JAMB’s Registrar also revealed that the board has withheld the results of candidates that sat for this year’s UTME at Correctional Service Centres (prisons), over suspected infractions.
