JAMB Regularization Guidelines & Deadline [Late Application]

Meaning/Introduction of JAMB Regularization/Late Application/Validation/ Condonement of Illegitimate Admission

The Joint Admission Matriculation Board, JAMB Regularization is the process of ensuring that the Board validates candidates current admission details with the school that offered admission to such candidates in their database with the aim of either granting one gateway of securing admission via direct entry or proceed for service.

JAMB ADVISORY TO INSTITUTIONS ON HOW TO HANDLE THE CONDONEMENT OF UNDISCLOSED ILLEGAL INSTITUTIONAL ADMISSIONS (CUIIA) (ADMISSIONS CONDUCTED OUTSIDE CAPS 2017-2020).

The Board introduced the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) in 2017 as the transparent platform for all admissions. Regrettably, some of the institutions continued to admit some, indeed large number of candidates (undisclosed to JAMB), thereby jeopardizing the interest of such candidates admitted through under-the table deals. Recent events made the candidates protest the disadvantages of such non-disclosure and lack of formal recognition of their degrees.

Such Institutions are now being compelled by necessity to confess their past deeds of undisclosed admission. This Advisory is to guide the affected institutions on how the candidates can be rescued:

i. The institutions should first and foremost declare the number of candidates admitted outside CAPS by sending a formal letter of confession and disclosure (LCD)tothe Registrar of JAMB.

ii. The letter of confession and disclosure should have the list of candidates attached. A copy of the letter and the list of candidates should be sent to JAMB state office where the institution is located. The list and total number of affected candidates for each year of admission should be clearly specified with the Programme (i.e Course of Study).

iii. If the Board upon receiving the letter (and after due scrutiny and investigations) grants approval, the institution shall be contacted within 2 weeks of acknowledged receipt of the LCD.

iv. The portal is then opened for the Institution to upload the list of candidates already submitted.

v. The letter of approval from JAMB to the institution and the uploaded list shall contain the following: • the academic year for which the retroactive approval is granted;

• total number of candidates, and

• the period of grace (not exceeding 60 days) within which the affected candidates must complete the process of Condonement of Undisclosed Illegal Institutional Admission (CUIIA).

Only the candidates declared by the institutions are to visit JAMB office and complete the appropriate form online after paying the prescribed fee (i.e) the application fee of N4,000 only is paid by those without JAMB Registration number for the year and N5,000 penalty paid by every candidate involved.

vi. The records of the candidates shall then be made available on CAPS after they have completed the online process.

vii. The Admission Officer of the Institution shall retroactively propose formally the candidates to the Head of Institution who in turn shall recommend the candidates within the specified time.

viii. The JAMB Desk officer too, shall retroactively approve the candidates on CAPS within the original list submitted by the institution. After approval, the previously illegal students will be able to print their JAMB admission letters from e-facility on JAMB Portal.

ix. It should be noted that the admission letter would henceforth carry the date of the retroactive approval and not backdated to protect the Board’s integrity of the data it might have provided before the condonement.

The admission letter would also be named “Retroactive Letter of Admission” to reflect the correct history of the admission.

x. Please NOTE that only candidates on the list declared by the institutions shall be attended to at the JAMB office.

The Board shall not extend the period of grace granted to each institution. Any candidate that does not complete the process within the allotted (maximum two months) grace – period loses the remedial opportunity.
