Breaking: JAMB Opens Portal For 2020/2021 Admissions
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has opened its portal for tertiary institutions to upload names of shortlisted applicants for the 2020/2021 admission.
The board said that all admission processes must go through the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) for approval.
It is widely known that only qualified candidates as recommended by their institutions for admission will be approved by the board.
The spokesperson for JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, confirmed this in a telephone interview on Wednesday.
Also, the Registrar of JAMB, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, confirmed this in an interview with newsmen in Abuja.
Asked if the CAPS has been opened for the conduct of this year’s admission, the registrar said: “Of course, long ago. Any institution, not just public that wants to is already uploading.”
He also said most institution, particularly private had commenced admission.
The registrar, however, added that public universities were yet to fully kick-start the process partly because they are yet to conclude admissions for last year.
Prof Oloyede said: “Take note also that admission is not just for universities. There are polytechnics and colleges of education and except for the closure because of COVID-19, they are not affected by the strike.
“There are different stages of the session and therefore, it is not one size fits all.”
The registrar also said a date has not been fixed for the sale of this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) forms.
