The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced specific categories of candidates who will be excluded from the Post-UTME screening process.
This decision was disclosed by JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, during a recent announcement.
According to Prof. Oloyede, candidates who fall under certain criteria will not be required to undergo the Post-UTME screening.
These include candidates from outside Nigeria who applied through UTME/DE modes, who will instead be screened after admission.
Additionally, candidates with disabilities are exempt from the Post-UTME screening.
