The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has told graduates and final-year students who are unable to print their JAMB Admission Letters for NYSC mobilization (or NYSC Exemption Certificates) to hold their respective tertiary institutions accountable for the delay.
Less Than 5% of Nearly 1 Million Undisclosed Admissions Uploaded by Schools
In a statement issued on Thursday, 17th March 2022, by JAMB's Head of Media, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board explained the bottleneck:
- Close to one million (1,000,000) undisclosed illegal institutional admissions were conducted outside JAMB CAPS by universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education between 2017 and 2020.
- Out of compassion for the affected students, the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, approved a final condonement/regularization window, which JAMB advertised on 24th November 2021 alongside a step-by-step advisory to all institutions.
- However, for JAMB to issue an admission letter to any affected candidate, the candidate's institution must first upload the student's particulars to the JAMB portal. Shockingly, as of mid-March 2022, less than 5% of the affected students' records had been uploaded by their institutions.
Affected students admitted between 2017 and 2020 without JAMB CAPS admission letters are advised to mount pressure on their institution's Admissions Office / Registrar to upload their records to the JAMB portal immediately.
