Following a virtual consultative meeting between the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and Heads of Tertiary Institutions across Nigeria on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, the Board has announced the final closing dates for the 2020/2021 admission exercise.
Approved 2020/2021 Admission Deadlines
- All Public Universities: Must conclude their 2020/2021 admissions on or before Saturday, May 15, 2021.
- Private Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education (COEs), & IEIs: Must conclude their 2020/2021 admissions on or before Tuesday, June 15, 2021.
Strict Compliance with CAPS Advisories
In a statement released by JAMB's Head of Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, Registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyede warned that the agreed deadlines are binding on all institutions. He also directed institutions to adhere strictly to JAMB advisories on inter/intra-university transfers, foreign transfers, and change of programmes on CAPS so innocent students do not suffer NYSC mobilization issues later.
Meanwhile, candidates preparing for the upcoming 2021/2022 UTME should start practicing immediately with the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
