University Of Ibadan And UNN Warned Against Admission Irregularities by charleymed(m): 10:56am On Jan 01, 2020
The Joint admissions and matriculation board has come hard on universities admitting candidates that performed below the admission cut-off marks on their portal, bypassing the central admission processing system of JAMB.

The JAMB registrar warned such institutions to desist from acts as the should only admit qualified candidates, and all admissions must pass through the JAMB CAPS. The registrar also warned candidates to desist from accepting such fraudulent admissions, as such admissions will not be recognized by the board.

Two prominent universities that have been indicted for "warehousing" admission on their portals are, The University of Nigeria Nsukka that admitted almost 500 candidates for MBBS, and university of Ibadan that has been admitting candidates that scored far below the cut off marks.

The statement of the registrar :

JAMB WARNS VARSITIES AGAINST IRREGULAR ADMISSIONS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board said it had cautioned some universities offering admissions to candidates on their school portals, without following the guidelines on the Central Admission Processing System.

The board stated this in a presentation by its Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, in Abuja, obtained by our correspondent. It listed the University of Nigeria, Nsukka; the University of Ibadan; and the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ogun State as examples.

The board warned the universities to “desist from such illegitimate actions.”

JAMB said it would not regularise the admission of such candidates not admitted through CAPS.

The registrar said, “On the warehousing of candidates into school portal, JAMB has found out that some institutions have devised a method of offering admissions to candidates outside CAPS, on their own designated portals. The device is a ploy to lure innocent and more qualified candidates away from their preferred programmes.

“These are tricks meant to usurp the rights of the candidates and they are improper and should be disregarded by the candidates. Such institutions are putting into jeopardy the future of these candidates.

“We have the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, which has a quota of 200 for Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. After admitting 106 candidates on CAPS, it released 448 on the UNN portal, whereas there are 342 qualified and not admitted on the CAPS.”

It added, “Also for Law, it has a quota of 250 and admitted 125 candidates on CAPS, whereas it released another 240 names on the school portal.

“We also have the case of one Hannat at the University of Ibadan, who applied for Human Nutrition but was transferred to Agricultural Extension. Her Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination score was 242 and the post UTME was 72. She had an aggregate score of 66.25, but the university then admitted people below her.

"We like to inform candidates that anyone who accepts any offer of admission made outside CAPS, that is, not on the JAMB’s candidates’ profile, does so at their own risk. There shall be no regularisation of any irregular admission. JAMB has given caution to the universities to immediately withdraw and desist from such illegitimate actions.”
