The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said yesterday that about 200,000 candidates have been offered admission for the 2018\/2019 academic session.<\/p>\n

Its Head, Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement in Lagos, said the admission took effect after the board\u2019s policy meeting in June in Gbongan, Osun State.<\/p>\n

According to him, the exercise is done through the Central Admission Process (CAP), an automated process to eliminate all human interference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have so far offered not less than 200,000 first choice admissions to candidates.<\/p>

\u201cTo this effect, therefore, we are urging candidates to go to our site and check their admission status and those who have been offered such admission should quickly indicate by accepting and printing such offer, as failure to do so will automatically mean the candidate is no longer interested.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd therefore, the board may see all such offers as rejected and would have no option than to mop them up and give them to other interested candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n
