The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed all tertiary institutions across the country to commence the conduct of the first and second choice admission from August 21.
The confirmation board gave the order in the 2020 admission guidelines discharged in Abuja by the board Spokesperson, Dr Benjamin Fabian. The board in the discharge, cautioned organizations against duplication of forms, including that they should desist from selling forms for admissions into some listed programs.
The board guided all institutions to encourage possibility to apply for the programs through its office, saying that all admission exercises must be conducted on the Central Admission Processing System.
“All applications for admissions to First Degree, National Diploma, National Innovation Diploma and the Nigeria Certificate in Education into full-time, distance learning, part-time, outreach, sandwich, etc, must be processed only through JAMB.
Institutions that desire to place advertisement can do so by advising candidates who applied for the current Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination to change to their institution as first choice rather than requesting the candidates to purchase another application form or apply.
This is to prevent the issue of double registration which is a violation of the JAMB mandate,” he said.
