Analysis of data on the admissions conducted for the 2022/2023 academic session in Nigerian universities, polytechnics and other tertiary institutions of learning revealed that 88 institutions conducted admissions outside of the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS.)

According to JAMB, admissions conducted outside CAPS are illegal, null and void.

In a statement titled, ‘Cessation of illegal/irregular admission’, JAMB reiterated that all applications of admissions to First Degree, National Diploma, National Innovation Diploma and the Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) into full-time, distance learning, part-time, outreach, sandwich, etc., must be processed only through JAMB.

The report tagged, ‘Compiled assessment of institutions on compliance with the 2022/2023 admission guidelines’, scored institutions who complied fully with admission guidelines 10 points; those with partial compliance were scored five points, while those institutions who failed to comply were awarded zero point.


Under the section for the conduct of full admissions on CAPS, our correspondent observed that 88 institutions failed to comply.

Some of the erring institutions are the University of Uyo, University of Abuja, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Yaba College of Technology, Plateau State University, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Federal University of Technology Owerri, Coal City University, Crawford University, Crescent University, Ebonyi State University, Rhema University, Borno State University, Chrisland University, Federal Polytechnic, Nekede, Alvan Ikoku College of Education, and Chukwuemeka Odumegwu University.

What happens to the admitted ones and even fees paid?

immortalcrown:
I don't understand why you ask this.

chimex38:
Innocent admitted students might be affected by any punishment metted out to defaulting institution.

immortalcrown:
The schools can be punished without the students being affected unless the students are deliberate accomplices in the offense.

chimex38:

Usually cash penalty..
Any fine to them will definitely be transferred to the students one way or another..
Most are Federal and state unis.. Still under government control..
They will care less.
Unis that re grossly owing NEPA billss .

You are wrong here.

The school can be punished in many ways. Denying the schools accreditations for certain programmes for a certain period of time can be a punishment. Sanctioning the VCs or the admission officers is another example. These two examples do not affect students.
