The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said that the onus of disclosing details of admissions made outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), lies only on university administrations.
The board made this clarification against the backdrop of students thronging its offices to clarify admission status.
Speaking in a statement signed by Fabian Benjamin onbehakf of the board, JAMB said it “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.”
