Jamb to shut down direct entry portal september 15-official

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board says it will shut down its Direct Entry admission e - registration portal on September 15 .
The Head of Media and Information of the board , Dr .Fabian Benjamin , said this in Abuja on Friday .
Benjamin urged the prospective candidates for the direct entry admission to register before the deadline , saying that the board might not extend the deadline .
He also advised the candidates to re -upload their O ’ Level results in its new portal as the one previously used did not allow for the capturing of candidates ’ levels of grades .
He further said that the candidates should use JAMB ’s approved Computer Based Test centres for the exercise .
According to him , the new portal has provided a platform for the detailed categories of West African Examination results of candidates for proper placement .
“The first platform that was used for the exercise did not create room for the capturing of the levels of grades such as C 4 , C 5, C 6, B1, B2 , B3 and A 1.
“You know in some schools , all these O ’ level grades are considered .
“You may have a B1 and another candidate has a B3. If there is no room for separating the grades in the platform , schools may not be able to ascertain the levels of grades .
“The first platform just stated “A”, “B”, “C ”. So with this new platform , there will be room for the download of the levels of grades .
“Somebody who has a B1 will stand a better chance than the person with a B3 .
“So , we use this new platform to capture all those detailed categories of WAEC result so that no grade of the result will be left uploaded .”
Benjamin , however , added that any candidate who felt that what he or she uploaded earlier was enough might not bother .
