JAMB stops 2nd choice here are the reasons.

Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Head of Media and
Information, told Premium Times on Saturday
that the choice of public universities was
restricted to one but candidates can choose as
many colleges of education and polytechnics as
they want.
The new measure by the board means that
candidates may select a public university and a
private university, but not two public
universities.

Mr. Benjamin said that the Board took the
restrictions because candidates hardly get
admissions into their second and third choice
universities.
He said: “Yes we restricted the choice to one
but candidates can choose as many colleges or
polytechnics,”

“We discovered it was of no use choosing a
university as second choice when in actual
sense they can’t even accommodate their first
choices,”
