JAMB Warns Applicants Against Accepting Admission Directly From Schools

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has warned prospective candidates not to accept any offer of admission from tertiary institutions, adding that only the admissions captured on its website is valid.

JAMB disclosed this on Thursday via a tweet at @JAMBHQ.

The tweet reads: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) hereby warns all candidates not to accept any admission outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) as any offer of admission MUST be validated on candidates’ profile pages with JAMB.

“Candidates who accept such admissions, do so at their own risk as there will be no regularization of any irregular or illegal admission.”

 The board also stressed that some institutions are putting candidates under pressure and are enrolling students who did not qualify into their institutions.

 “In order to circumvent the rights of candidates, the institutions are now using their own portals to unlawfully persuade and pressurise candidates to accept another course and then make a change of course on the JAMB portal to the new course supposedly offered on their own portal”.

“These tricks are improper and should be disregarded by the candidates. All institutions employing such tricks are putting into jeopardy the future of the illegitimately favoured less qualified candidates as the board will not condone or regularise such irregular admission.”
