The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a stern warning to all tertiary institutions and candidates, reiterating that the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) is the only legitimate platform for conducting admissions in Nigeria.
Why Admissions Outside JAMB CAPS Are Null and Void
- Institutional Portals Alone Are Invalid: While universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education have the authority to recommend qualified candidates, publishing admission lists solely on an institution's internal portal without processing them through JAMB CAPS is a flagrant violation of federal admission guidelines.
- Covers Full-Time, Part-Time & Sandwich: JAMB emphasized that any admission into a First Degree, NCE, National Diploma (ND), or National Innovation Diploma (NID)—including Part-Time and Sandwich programmes—not processed on CAPS and backed by an official JAMB admission letter is null and void.
- NYSC and Employment Disqualification: Admitting candidates outside CAPS will block those students from participating in the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation exercise or obtaining JAMB verification for future job placements.
