JAMB Warns Against Unauthorised Admissions, Sets New Matriculation Rules for 2026

JAMB has reiterated its warning to candidates not to accept admissions offered outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS), the only approved platform for admissions.

Candidates who accept unauthorised admissions may face difficulties, including inability to print admission letters, participate in NYSC, or enrol in professional bodies such as the Nigerian Law School or Medical Board.

JAMB urged institutions to comply, warning that offenders risk legal action.

In related news,JAMB has also reminded students that matriculation ceremonies are formal oath-taking exercises.

The board expressed concern that some students involved in examination misconduct had previously taken the matriculation oath.

Starting next year, UTME/DE candidates must declare their matriculation status, with false declarations attracting strict penalties.
