The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has taken a firm stance against unauthorized admission practices as it prepares for the 2025 admission cycle. In a recent announcement, the board warned both tertiary institutions and candidates about the consequences of bypassing its official Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) portal. According to the conclusions drawn in the analytical report, adherence to these guidelines is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the admission process.
JAMB's Warning Against Unofficial Course Changes
JAMB's warning comes in response to reports of two unnamed institutions pressuring candidates to change their courses through unofficial means. The board highlighted that such actions compromise the integrity of the merit-based admission process, which is designed to ensure fairness and transparency in admissions.
Advice to Candidates
Candidates are strongly advised to ignore any requests for course changes that are not processed through the CAPS portal, as these alterations will not be acknowledged for admission purposes. In addition to this warning, JAMB has initiated regulatory measures aimed at curbing these unethical practices and safeguarding the interests of prospective students.
Recently, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced the successful admission of 85 underage candidates, showcasing its commitment to recognizing young talent. For more details, see the full report here.
