2024 ADMISSION: AVOID PAST PITFALLS – JAMB

As tertiary institutions prepare for the 2024 admission exercise, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reiterated that any admissions conducted outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) will be deemed null and void.

The Board emphasized that institutions must strictly follow established admission guidelines and adhere to the decisions made during the recent 2024 Policy Meeting on Admissions. This is crucial to avoid previous mistakes that led to the condonement of illegal admissions—a practice the Federal Government is moving to eliminate permanently.

JAMB urged all institutions to heed the warnings from the Hon. Minister of Education regarding the risks associated with bypassing Federal Government guidelines and neglecting JAMB advisories on admissions.

In addition, the Board highlighted the importance of adopting paperless communication for official correspondence by utilizing the Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS). This digitized platform facilitates communication between JAMB, tertiary institutions, and regulatory agencies in the education sector.

The IBASS platform also serves as an essential tool for disseminating prescribed admission quotas and outlining course requirements.

Moreover, JAMB reminded all institutions that users accessing CAPS for the 2024/25 admission exercise must log in using their official email addresses (e.g., vc@ui.edu.ng or vc.ui@gmail.com). Personal or private email addresses will no longer be permitted to access the CAPS platform.
