TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports JAMB developed CAPS to automate admission processes into higher institutions of learning in the country.

JAMBD advised admission seekers not to accept admission outside CAPS on Thursday following directives to tertiary institutions to make disclosures on candidates admitted outside the CAPS from 2017 to date.

Following the directives, a large number of candidates had thronged JAMB offices to have the issue resolved.

However, the examination body in a statement by its Public Communication Advisor (PCA), Fabian Benjamin, Ph.D, noted that the focus of the directive is on candidates’ actions but with the institutions.

The statement reads: “The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has observed a large number of candidates thronging its offices to resolve issues related to the disclosure of candidates admitted outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) from 2017 to date.

While we appreciate the enthusiasm, we must correct the misconception that the focus is on candidates’ actions.

The true emphasis lies with the institutions, which must disclose all candidates admitted outside CAPS before the August 31st, 2024 deadline. This directive requires immediate attention and compliance.

We urge institutions to carefully review our initial letter and ensure full compliance, as failure to disclose will result in severe consequences. Candidates are also reminded not to accept admissions outside CAPS.

The Board reiterate that candidates not disclosed by institutions would not be entertained. The Board will not tolerate any condonement of undisclosed admissions moving forward.READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
