JAMB sets August deadline for varsities, others to comply with new admission regime

JAMB sets August deadline for varsities, others to comply with new admission regime

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board ,JAMB, has given universities and other tertiary institutions in the country to the end of this month to disclose all admissions conducted outside its Central Admissions Processing System ,CAPS.

Daily Intel Newspaper recall that it is now mandatory for all tertiary institutions in the country including the National Open University of Nigeria to admit students through JAMB.

Meaning that CAP is now the country’s central administration unit and it is domiciled in JAMB.

The public communication advisor for JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, during a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday said the directive was aimed at enhancing transparency and fairness in the admissions processes.

Dr Benjamin said the Board would clear all illegal admissions prior to 2017 but wouldn’t accept any students after the August window.

He said: “The attention of the Board has been drawn to the predilection of some institutions to admit candidates outside the approved Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) platform and process such through the condonement of illegal admissions window to accord legitimacy.

“In order to close this abused window, the Board has decided that: all institutions should now (or never) disclose all candidates illegally admitted prior to 2017 whose records are in their system within the next one month beginning from 1st August 2024; and any admission purportedly given prior to 2017 will no longer be recognised or condoned unless disclosed within this one-month window.

“Institutions are advised to comply with this directive as there will not be any further confinement of hitherto unrecorded candidates who did not even register with JAMB not to talk of sitting for any entrance examination.

“This move is aimed at curbing illegal admissions and falsification of records while ensuring compliance with the provisions of CAPS.”

He said the decision marks the end of illegal admissions window, which previously allowed institutions to accommodate unauthorised students into the system.

Benjamin highlighted concerns over institutions colluding with candidates to falsify details for illegal admissions, which has led to fraudulent participation in the National Youth Service Corps,NYSC.

He said despite warnings, some institutions continue to admit candidates outside CAPS.

“Consequently, the Board is terminating the aspect of the CUIIA process which allows completely unregistered candidates (without registration) to be introduced to the system.


“CAPS is the only authorized platform for admissions. Those who even have registration but were illegally admitted between the period (2017-2020) would soon be denied the opportunity of the waiver unless they are disclosed within the next month.

“Therefore, all institutions are hereby directed to disclose, for the final time, all candidates admitted illegally within their systems. Moving forward, the Board will not tolerate any undisclosed admission by any institution.”

Speaking further, Benjamin said recent discoveries made it imperative for the Board to speak out to save the integrity of the education system.

On the issue of the minimum age for admission into tertiary institutions for the 2024 session, the board maintained that the minimum age for admission remains 16 years.

“For the 2024 admission cycle, candidates who will be at least sixteen years old at the time of admission will be considered eligible. This decision follows the directive from the Chairman of the 2024 tertiary admission policy meeting, who is also the Honourable Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, SAN, OON that the extant policy of 6-3-3-4 be enforced only from the 2025 session.

“The alarming avalanche of obviously false affidavits and upsurge of doctored upward age adjustments on NIN slips being submitted to JAMB to upgrade recorded age is dangerous, inimical, and unnecessary. Only those below 16 would not and should not be admitted in accordance with the decision of the 2024 Policy Meeting,” he said.

He further expressed concern over the new trend of a strange admissions practice labeled as “Daily- Part-Time” ,DPT, by certain polytechnics and “Top Up” ,TU, by some universities.

He said “It is crucial to clarify that no such programmes are approved by the National Board for Technical Education ,NBTE, nor by the National Universities Commission ,NUC. Both are also alien to the education system in Nigeria.

“They are fraudulent devices to side-line quality, approved quota for full time admission, falsify records and consequently, rake illegitimate income and derail the ambition and career of innocent (and some equally crooked) candidates. The candidates with zero or abysmally low UTME score are rationally attracted to such contraption which would lead to nowhere.

“Part-time programmes are strictly regulated, allowing institutions to admit only up to 150% of the approved full-time capacity. However, some institutions have been found to admit an excessive number of candidates through this unrecognised DPT programme, merging them
