The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), alongside the National Universities Commission (NUC), the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), and the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), has threatened to sanction tertiary institutions conducting irregular 2022/2023 admissions outside the Central Admissions Processing System (JAMB CAPS).
Mandatory Use of JAMB CAPS for All Programmes
In a joint regulatory memo titled "Serialisation of guidelines for the 2022 admissions exercise", the agencies issued the following directives:
- All applications and admissions into First Degree, National Diploma (ND), National Innovation Diploma (NID), and Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) must be processed strictly through JAMB CAPS.
- This rule applies across all modes of study, including Full-Time, Distance Learning, Part-Time, Outreach, and Sandwich programmes.
- The 2022/2023 admission exercise commenced in August 2022 with an initial closing date of 31st December 2022.
Why Students Must Insist on JAMB CAPS
Any admission offered by an institution outside JAMB CAPS is classified as an "undisclosed" or irregular admission, which will prevent the graduate from participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) or obtaining a JAMB Admission Letter.
