JAMB is now responsible for reassigning students that had the minimum cut off mark prescribed by JAMB  but not allowed to participate in the post UTME screening exercise of their institution of choice due to surplus applicants. JAMB will reassign such students to other universities with low applicants.

As a result of the New Joint Admission Matriculation Board's Admission Policy which according to the Registrar/CEO of JAMB, Professor Dibu Ojerinde, the policy portends two benefits:

1. It will be beneficial to “needy Universities” that is universities with lower number of candidates than their capacities, as this will ensure that these universities will have more candidates to admit.
2. Candidates will have better chances for admission in the universities they are re-assigned to, contrary to situations where they would await admission in the universities of their first choices until the admission exercise closes and they forfeit admission in that session.

JAMB has announced Friday, August 5, 2015 as the commencement date for the checking of reassignment status.

However, the procedure on how to go about this has not been released. by JAMB
We therefore advise candidates to keep their fingers crossed and wait for the release of the procedure which will be available on this site the moment it is released.
