JAMB Reveals Those Who Will Get Admission
In 2017 /2018 Session
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) on Thursday, said only
candidates who meet the O’ level and A’ level
requirements and other criteria set by
institutions would be offered admission in
2017/2018. JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq
Oloyede, stated this at a Training and
Sensitization Forum on Central Admissions
Processing System (CAPS) for admission
offers, candidates and stakeholders on in
Abuja.
Prof. Oloyede said: “Scoring higher than the
cut-off mark does not guarantee admission
but makes the candidate eligible for
admission consideration. It is not UTME that
qualifies the person. It is O level, A level that
qualifies a person for admission.
“That is why you can go from here to UK, you
can go to Ghana, Uganda, Republic of Benin,
nobody ask you of your UTME, they ask for
your O level because by law it is the school cert
that qualifies you not JAMB,” he said.
He also warned that JAMB will not tolerate
illegal admissions by any higher institution.
The body also stated that students admitted
illegally won’t be regularised anymore.
“We know that we have abused the process.
What we have been doing is to send N5,000
each to JAMB in the name of regularization
without capturing their picture, without
capturing anything. You pay N5,000 and then
they are regularized.
“We have not stopped to do backlog but from
2016 upward we will not allow anybody to do
backdoor admission. Anybody that is not
properly admitted cannot benefit from
regularization.
“You cannot admit anybody under the table.
Let us know your problem and let us
collectively solve the problem so that you do
not need to do such thing.
“We don’t have accurate data because what
we have on record is different from real life.
We cannot continue to do that. We will protest
to the whole world that we have 500 students
in our institutions but in reality they are
about 1 million but 500,000 thousand have
been admitted illegally,” Oloyede remarked.
