JAMB Opens Portal For Admissions

JAMB Opens Portal For Admissions.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced the opening of its portal for institutions to upload names of shortlisted applicants for the 2020/2021 admission, OnyxNews Nigeria reports.

According to the board, all admission processes must go through the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) for approval.

The Matriculation board noted that only qualified candidates as recommended by their institutions for admission will be approved by the board.

JAMB registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede, said this in an interview with The Nation in Abuja.

Asked if the CAPS has been opened for the conduct of this year’s admission, the registrar said: “Of course, long ago. Any institution, not just public that wants to is already uploading.”

He also said most institution, particularly private had started admission.

The registrar, however, added that public universities were yet to fully commence the process partly because they have not concluded admissions for last year.

Prof Oloyede said: “Take note also that admission is not just for universities. There are polytechnics and colleges of education and except for the closure because of COVID-19, they are not affected by the strike.
