The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will
close the Direct Entry e-Registration portal on Sept.15.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head of Media and Information of the
board, said this in an interview with newsmen in Abuja on
Friday.
Benjamin advised candidates yet to register to do so before the
deadline, saying that there might be no postponement of the
deadline.
He also advised JAMB candidates to re-upload their ‘O’ level
results in the new portal as the previous portal did not allow for
the capturing of candidates level of grades.
He also said that candidates should use the approved Computer
Based Test (CBT) Centres for the exercise.
According to him, the new portal has provided a platform for the
detailed category of the West African Examination Result (WAEC) of
candidates for proper placement.
“The first platform that was used for the exercise does not
create room for the capturing of the levels of grade such as C4,
C5, C6, B1, B2, B3 and A1.
“ You know in some schools, all these ‘O’ level grades are being
considered.
“For example, if you have B1 and another one has B3 and there is
no room for separation in the platform schools may not be able to
ascertain the level of grades some schools will consider the O’
level grades.
“And the first platform just stated A, B, C, so with this new
platform, there will be room for the download of the level of
grades. Somebody who has B1 will stand a better chance than the
person with B3.
“So, we use this new platform to capture all those detailed
categories of WAEC result so that no grade of result will be left
uploaded.’’
Benjamin, however, said that any candidate who felt that what he
or she uploaded before was enough might not bother.
