JAMB Warns Candidates Not to Accept Admission Outside JAMB CAPS

The management of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has made an official publication geared towards advising and at the same time serves as a warning to the 2024/2025 JAMB candidates that they should not accept admission from any institution outside the official JAMB admission acceptance and decline portal known as the Central Admissions Processing System, CAPS.

The JAMB spokesperson, Sir Fabian Benjamin made this information available to the general public. He said that this comes as a result of his observation, where he noticed a large number of candidates coming into its offices daily to resolve issues related to the disclosure of candidates admitted outside the Central Admissions Processing System, CAPS, from 2017 to date.

Following this publication, JAMB re-notified all tertiary institutions in Nigeria to hasten the disclosure of admissions they offered outside CAPS between 2017 and 2023, saying there were severe consequences for violations for institutions that failed to do so.

The JAMB spokesperson, MR. Fabian Benjamin said; 

"The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has observed a large number of candidates thronging its offices to resolve issues related to the disclosure of candidates admitted outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) from 2017 to date. While we appreciate the enthusiasm, we must correct the misconception that the focus is on candidates’ actions.

“The true emphasis lies with the institutions, which must disclose all candidates admitted outside CAPS before the August 31st, 2024 deadline. This directive requires immediate attention and compliance.

“We urge institutions to carefully review our initial letter and ensure full compliance, as failure to disclose will result in severe consequences. Candidates are also reminded not to accept admissions outside CAPS.

“The Board reiterated that candidates not disclosed by institutions would not be entertained. The Board will not tolerate any Condonement of undisclosed admissions moving forward.”

That's it.
