Newly established institutions have urged by the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) to avoid illegal practices and adhere to due process when admitting new students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar, JAMB, said this at an interactive session with principal officers of the newly established, upgraded, and adopted universities, polytechnics and colleges of education in Abuja on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oloyede outlined the best practices and the legal process for sourcing students and explained how it was done through the \u2018Market Place\u2019 on the Central Admissions
Processing System (CAPS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He warned against illegal admissions and clarified procedures for candidate placement as institutions prepare for the 2024\/2025 admission cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhoever admits a candidate illegally, whether private or public institution, will be dealt with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want them to commit the offence; some of them ignorantly commit the offence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are now exposing them to how to get and achieve their desire without violating any of the rules,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasised the need for automation, compliance, and capacity building as new institutions join the nation\u2019s higher education system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis meeting is to introduce you to the regulatory framework guiding admission processing on the CAPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey need orientation because we don\u2019t receive paper mail from them; it has been automated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to build up their capacity so that they don\u2019t run into problems, particularly when the students appear to be more advanced in doing things wrongly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The JAMB Registrar highlighted the impact of ASUU strikes, overlapping sessions, and ongoing efforts to test JAMB system redundancies during the mock UTME to ensure the smooth operation of the examination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSome of them are still going at their own pace, finishing 2021 in 2023, finishing 2022 in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are running four concurrent sessions; this would not have been possible if we had not planned it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis year, what we did was to test all the redundancies we have to
be sure that they are working,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oloyede added that over 100 new tertiary institutions joined Nigeria\u2019s higher education landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that 15 upgraded federal colleges of education with dual mandates, offering NCE and Degree, 22 new universities (some adopted, some upgraded) were on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, 33 new polytechnics\/monotechnics, and 12 new colleges of education are also on the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Paulinus Okwelle, Executive Secretary, National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE), emphasised the increasing complexity of the admission process and stated the importance of understanding it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okwelle said that JAMB procedure had changed, and the new institutions needed to familiarise themselves with the processes and procedures to compete fairly during special admission considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He highlighted JAMB\u2019s efforts to introduce cutting-edge technology and
innovative approaches to improve the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that with the improvement in the processing system, things would change, therefore, new institutions need to take action and exploit development to become better than the existing institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
