The University of Jos has extended the screening of 25,000 applicants for admission
into the 2016/2017 academic session to Friday, Mr Abdullahi Abdullahi, Principal Assistant Registrar (Information and Publications), has said.

Abdullahi said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Jos on Tuesday.

He said that the screening, which began on Monday, Sept. 5, was initially scheduled to be completed on Wednesday.

“It has been xtended by two days in view of the two-day public holiday to mark the Sallah festivity. The screening will now end on September 16, instead of September 14″, he stated.

Abdullahi said that the applicants being screened were those sent to the institution by JAMB as qualified to compete for the close to 7,000 undergraduate slots.

He said that the Faculty of Medicine had the
highest number of qualified applicants with
10,000 competing for the spaces.

He said that the university would strictly adhere to JAMB’s admission guidelines that emphasised merit.

Abdullahi, however, assured applicants of fair play in regard to educationally disadvantaged and catchment areas.
