| JAMB 2024 Latest Updates for Candidates |
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released important updates for all 2024 candidates. Here are the key points:
Minimum Age Requirement
- For the 2024/2025 academic session, only candidates who are at least 16 years old will be eligible for admission.
- Candidates who are currently 15 years old can write Post UTME exams or screenings but can only accept admission if they turn 16 by the time of admission.
- This policy, directed by the Honourable Minister of Education, Prof. Tahir Mamman, aims to prevent false affidavits and age adjustments.
Stoppage of Illegal Admissions
- JAMB has ended the condonement of illegal admissions.
- Institutions must disclose all candidates admitted illegally before 2017 within the next month. Unreported admissions will not be recognised.
Unauthorised Programmes
- JAMB condemns certain polytechnics and universities for advertising unauthorised Daily Part-Time (DPT) and Top Up (TU) programmes.
- These programmes are not approved by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) or the National Universities Commission (NUC) and will not be regularised.
Disclosure of Candidates Outside CAPS
- Institutions must disclose all candidates admitted outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) from 2017 to date.
- Admissions outside CAPS and not disclosed within the given time frame will not be tolerated. CAPS ensures transparency and fairness.
Key Takeaways
- Ensure you meet the age requirement and verify admissions through CAPS.
- Avoid unauthorised programmes not recognised by educational bodies.
- Stay informed and comply with all JAMB directives.
