The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the Federal Government has approved the creation of a centralized Advanced Level (A-Level) Certificate Data Bank in Nigeria to verify all IJMB and JUPEB certificates used for Direct Entry admissions.
Why the A-Level Data Bank Was Approved
- Speaking in Abuja at the opening of a 3-day workshop for JAMB Public Relations staff, the Director of Legal Services at JAMB revealed that investigations uncovered widespread certificate forgery and examination malpractice among unaccredited study centre proprietors and operators of JUPEB and IJMB programmes.
- In one striking case at a particular university, 90 percent of the A-Level certificates presented by Direct Entry applicants for admission were discovered to be fake.
How the Central Platform Will Work
Under the new directive, all genuine A-Level results will be uploaded and registered on a single central verification platform before they can be used on JAMB CAPS for 200-Level Direct Entry admissions.
