While presenting the report titled "Report on a bill for an Act to amend the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board Act and for other matters connected thereof, 2016, (SB.245)" senator Jibrin Baran, Chairman Plenary committee explained the purpose of the bill was to amend and increase JAMB validity period from one Academic year to three academic years.
This means that your JAMB result can be used to gain admission into any Nigerian University, Polytechnic and College of Education within three years from when it was gotten.
He said Section 6 (1) of the new Act states: ” Any examination conducted by the Board pursuant to the powers conferred by this Act shall be valid for a period of three academic years from the date of the examination.
“A candidate meeting the requirements for admission and being duly qualified shall remain so qualified for the period prescribed in subsection (1) of this section.
“A candidate awaiting admission shall be given preference in the succeeding year over fresh applicants who shall only become eligible when the backlog had been cleared.”
The Senate has passed for Third Reading and approved the extension of the validity period.
