Admission: Over 600,000 Students in Limbo as JAMB Insists on Eligibility

Published

on

Information have emerged that about 50 per cent of the 1.2 million candidates that met the Joint Board Matriculation Board (JAMB) cut-off mark have been given admission to their various university of choice with the remaining 50 per cent still unsure of their status.

The implications are that about 600,000 prospective university students are currently frustrated and unable to access their admission after being offered one by their respective institutions of choice.
THISDAY findings revealed that both the affected schools and candidates are blaming JAMB for the stalemate in the admission processes.

According to some of the university officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity, “The JAMB action to appropriate admission processes is frustrating to both the students and the schools.
“Do you know that most of the students are yet to access their admission in the JAMB portal?”
They alleged that the newly introduced Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) by the Board has stalled admission of many students “who can’t access the portal, leaving them stranded with deadline for admission having elapsed last week.”
