The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed to disclose all candidates admitted through channels outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) before the August 31 deadline
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all tertiary institutions to disclose all candidates admitted through channels outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) since 2017.
JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, revealed in a statement on Thursday that the directive requires immediate attention and compliance.
Benjamin noted that the deadline for this disclosure has been set for August 31, 2024, and warned that institutions that fail to comply with this directive will face severe consequences.
“The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has observed a large number of candidates thronging its offices to resolve issues related to the disclosure of candidates admitted outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) from 2017 to date. While we appreciate the enthusiasm, we must correct the misconception that the focus is on candidates’ actions,” Benjamin said.
“The true emphasis lies with the institutions, which must disclose all candidates admitted outside CAPS before the August 31st, 2024, deadline. This directive requires immediate attention and compliance.”
“We urge institutions to carefully review our initial letter and ensure full compliance, as failure to disclose will result in severe consequences. Candidates are also reminded not to accept admissions outside CAPS.”
