Schools Should Start Admission August 21, Says JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has instructed all tertiary institutions to start the conduct of the first and second choice admission from August 21.

As indicated by News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the board gave the order in the 2020 affirmation rules discharged in Abuja by the board Spokesperson, Dr Benjamin Fabian.

Dr Fabian, in the rules, cautioned institutions against duplication of forms, including that they should halt from selling forms for admissions into some listed programmes.

He encouraged institutions to advise contender to apply for the projects through its office, saying that all admission exercise must be directed on the Central Admission Processing System.

“All applications for admissions to First Degree, National Diploma, National Innovation Diploma and the Nigeria Certificate in Education into full-time, distance learning, part-time, outreach, sandwich, etc, must be processed only through JAMB.

“Institutions that desire to place advertisement can do so by advising candidates who applied for the current Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination to change to their institution as first choice rather than requesting the candidates to purchase another application form or apply.

“This is to prevent the issue of double registration which is a violation of the JAMB mandate,” 

he said.
