2019 Admission Statistics.

He revealed that tertiary institutions had the capacity (Quota) to admit 1,123,514 students but only 612,5579 candidates were admitted leaving 510,957 vacancy. Now the big question is “why the vacancies (wide gap) & yet some candidates are still not admitted?”

Why Candidates Should Not Register for both UTME and Direct Entry

• A candidate registered for both UTME and DE
• During scrutiny of admission, JAMB realized that a particular
  candidate was jumped and not recommended
• On investigation, it was discovered that the candidate had
  been offered admission through DE
• The candidate was invited to JAMB HQs and confronted with facts
• He accepted the error (by claiming ignorance) and tendered
  an unreserved apology
• The UTME application was cancelled

Reasons Candidates Were Not Admitted.

One of the main reasons why some candidates were not admitted was because most of them chose few programmes. This is what JAMB referred “over subscription of few Programmes”

4. Non-acceptance of Offer.
   • See how to accept admission on JAMB CAPS Portal.
5. Duplication of application
6. Absent from POST UTME Screening
7. Late change of Institution & Mismatch of Catchment.

FORGERS AND FRAUDSTERS:

1. Cluster of fraudsters who had been benefitting from examination malpractice continue to forge the Registrar’s signature, writing fictitious news items that JAMB website had crashed and all examinations written were cancelled
2. Again, they were mistaken. We are grateful to Government especially FME

What JAMB has Decided to do

1. Partnering security operatives & relevant agencies on cyber crimes
2. Engaging the machineries & sponsoring them in order to tap from their knowledge
3. Movement of some services to the registration portal in order to prevent extortion of candidates

Additional Features on JAMB CAPS

1. No institution would be able to move candidates into merit level unless ALL positive candidates above him/her are admitted either by merit, catchment or ELDS
2. If any institution request for opening of change for programme or institution, it MUST consider all the candidates who have uploaded
3. Availability of date of upload of O’ level credentials by candidates
4. All institutions MUST provide date of commencement of admission
5. Cut off date & Admission exercise can’t be earlier than 20th August, 2020
6. No institution would be able to finalise admission exercise until after cut-off date
7. Before a candidate can be moved or transferred to another programme, their would be transfer alert (notification from CAPS) to the candidate to either accept or reject the movement
