The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has assured prospective students and parents that the ongoing industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will not halt the 2020/2021 admission exercise.
Disclosing this to journalists, a senior official of the Board explained that JAMB is working closely with tertiary institutions and stakeholders to guide candidates through the completion of their admission processes.
Why Admissions Can Proceed Despite the Strike
- According to the official, Nigerian universities have never operated a single uniform calendar.
- While some public universities are still in the first semester of their previous session due to the strike, several private universities, state universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education have completed their sessions and are ready to admit new students.
- Institutions that are ready will commence their admission exercise immediately, while those still concluding their previous session can process their admission lists on CAPS and invite newly admitted students to resume once they finish.
If your chosen university is conducting Post-UTME screening soon, make sure you prepare thoroughly with the Mentra POST-UTME app, available on both Android and iOS.
