Implication of the Canceled 2020/2021 Session on OAU JAMBites
Since the higher institutions started releasing information on their cancellation of a session and when OAU eventually joined the league of schools canceling the 2020/2021 academic session, different news and assumptions have been flying around everywhere on the internet about that; which are mostly true. But sometimes, what is true still needs to be explained better or emphasized more to have greater effects, and the explanation is what I'm about to do. Please pay the best attention to this if you are a JAMBite or a ward of one.
It
should be clear to everyone that because schools are canceling the 2020/2021
session doesn’t mean the schools would not continue on processing the
admissions of the admission seekers who wrote the 2020/2021 session UTME in
2020 or have already even done their Post-UTME screening or applied for it;
these people’s admission processes would continue, only that—if admitted—they
would not be resuming school in their own session, which was supposed to be the
2020/2021, as the session as been canceled due to the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic and the several months of ASUU strike.
Also,
that doesn’t mean the people who would be writing the 2021/2022 UTME this year
2021 would not be admitted by these schools that have canceled the 2020/2021
session and would still be admitting the candidates who wrote their UTME in
2020, it only means that most of these schools—if not all—would merge the two
groups of JAMBites together in one session which would be the 2021/2022
session. This means the people who wrote their UTME in 2020 and the people who
will write theirs in 2021 would be admitted together in one session, which
would be the 2021/2022 session, since the 2020/2021 session has been canceled. So
knowing this, what’s going to be the implication of this on the JAMBites
seeking admission to the schools that would be merging two sessions of JAMBites
together?
Right
now, you should be thinking of more candidates to admit from, while the schools
would still not want to go too higher than their admission quota. For instance,
in the last ten years, OAU has admitted students per session based on these
figures: 5,500, 6,000, 7,500, and when they went on to admit around 11,000 some
3 or 4 years ago from around 150,000 applicants who wrote and passed the
Post-UTME, they were sanctioned by NUC for that. So let’s say OAU wants to
admit a lot of candidates from the JAMBites of 2020/2021 and the JAMBites of
2021/2022 that would now be merged together for one admission session, that
would be at least 250,000 applicants. How many of these people would OAU be
able to offer admission to? 15,000? 20,000? Whatever figure you’re assuming,
just know that would mean tougher screening processes, higher cutoff marks,
connections, and all that I can't talk about on the internet; that admission is
going to be for the strong only, so I wish you the best of luck as you try to
get your own rare spot.
