JAMB Claims 86 Varsities, Others Illegally Admitted
JAMB prohibits and invalidates admissions outside CAPS.
The 2017 Central Admissions Processing System by JAMB requires all tertiary institutions to publish admission status updates for admitted students.
CAPS automates and centralizes admissions to higher universities.
In 2020, JAMB advised universities to cease using their portals to admit applicants.
The board called the conduct a gross exploitation of the computerized Central Admissions Processing System.
The board banned unauthorized admissions outside CAPS in April 2024.
The bulletin urged applicants not to accept institution admissions without going through it.
In their statement titled “Cessation of illegal/irregular admission,” the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) made it clear that applicants must process all educational program applications, including the Nigeria Certificate in Education, the National Diploma, the National Innovation Diploma, and the First Degree, through our organization. This ensures a consistent and controlled admissions process for all students.
The study, headed ‘Compiled evaluation of schools on compliance with the 2022/2023 admission rules’, assigned a score of 10 points to universities that completely adhered to the admission guidelines, 5 points to those that partially complied, and 0 points to those that did not comply at all.
Our reporter found 88 universities violating CAPS’ whole admissions clause.
The University of Uyo, University of Abuja, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Yaba College of Technology, Plateau State University, Ladoke Akintola University, Federal University of Technology Owerri, Coal City University, Crawford University, Crescent University, Ebonyi State University, Rhema University, Borno State University, Chrisland University, Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Alvan Ikoku College of Education, and Chukwuemeka Odum.
