The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has given all tertiary institutions in the country one month to disclose all admissions conducted outside its Central Admissions Processing System before 2017.
The Public Communication Advisor for JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who disclosed this at a press briefing in Abuja, on behalf of the board’s registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, said the directive was aimed at enhancing transparency and fairness in the admissions process.
He said the decision marked the end of the condonement of illegal admissions window, which previously allowed institutions to incorporate unauthorised admissions into the system.
On the issue of the minimum age for admission into tertiary institutions for the 2024/2025 session, the board maintained that the minimum age for admission remained 16 years.
Dr Benjamin further raised concern over the new trend of a strange admissions practice labelled “Daily-Part-Time” by certain polytechnics and “Top Up” by some universities.
