JAMB Clarifies Disclosure Of Admitted Candidates Outside CAPS (2017-Date)

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) through their X (Twitter) handle clarifies the current issue surrounding the disclosure of admitted candidates outside CAPS. The information on their handle is quoted below.

“The Board has observed a large number of candidates thronging its offices to resolve issues related to the disclosure of candidates admitted outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) from 2017 to date. While we appreciate the enthusiasm, we must correct the misconception that the focus is on candidates’ actions. The true emphasis lies with the institutions, which must disclose all candidates admitted outside CAPS before the August 31st, 2024 deadline. This directive requires immediate attention and compliance. We urge institutions to carefully review our initial letter and ensure full compliance, as failure to disclose will result in severe consequences. Candidates are also reminded not to accept admissions outside CAPS. The Board reiterated that candidates not disclosed by institutions would not be entertained. The Board will not tolerate any condonement of undisclosed admissions moving forward.”

The information summarises that the onus lies on your school to send the list of candidates who have been admitted outside CAPS to them. This means no student should come directly to their office to do this individually. Any student that falls within this radar (2017-date) should go directly to their school and the school must send the list before August 31st, 2024.
