The Honourable Minister of State for Education, Dr. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, has warned Nigerian universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and admission seekers against offering or accepting "backdoor" admissions conducted outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) of JAMB.
Why Admissions Outside CAPS Are Invalid
Speaking during the virtual 2020 Policy Meeting on Admissions, Dr. Nwajiuba emphasized that JAMB CAPS was established to guarantee fairness, inclusiveness, and transparency in the Nigerian tertiary admission process.
- Zero Tolerance for Backdoor Admissions: The Minister stated clearly that no admission offer should be made to any candidate outside CAPS, noting that institutions offering internal admissions outside CAPS are confusing candidates and jeopardizing their future.
- Consequences for Candidates: Any admission not processed and accepted on JAMB CAPS is unrecognized by JAMB and will disqualify the student from NYSC mobilizationupon graduation.
