JAMB urges new tertiary institutions to uphold admission standards

Professor Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has advised newly-established tertiary institutions across the country to adhere strictly to rules and regulations guiding admissions.
Professor Oloyede, who was speaking at a meeting with heads of the newly-established tertiary institutions in Abuja, called for full compliance of the over 80 new institutions. He warned them against illegal admissions, saying there would be no room for regularization.
He stressed that all admissions must be routed through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), strictly following due process.
“CAPS ensures transparency, fairness, and integrity in admissions. Any institution attempting to bypass this platform risks nullifying such admissions,” Professor Oloyede warned.
The JAMB Registrar explained that the aim of the forum was to integrate those institutions into the national admissions system, which aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s vision to expand access to quality education.
He said: “What we are doing is to introduce them to how to get candidates, the DOs and the DON’Ts of the admission process, and sensitize them to the need to follow due processes in what they are doing, particularly the automated system that JAMB operates.”
Professor William Qurix, the vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Applied Sciences, Kachia, Kaduna State, said the meeting afforded them the opportunity to become acquainted with the workings and operations of the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) and Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS), through which institutions communicate with JAMB.
“JAMB gave us assurances of prompt response to any inquiries that might come from the heads of institutions, through their CAPS or IBAS system. So definitely this meeting has enlightened us, and it will have a great impact,” he said.
Dr Uche Uba, the Director of Colleges at the Ministry of Education, also used the opportunity to point out some criteria set by the National Universities Commission that must be followed by the new institutions.
The more than 80 tertiary institutions include those newly established, upgraded, and adopted.
