JAMB Urges Students to Verify Admissions via CAPS

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a warning to prospective university students regarding the acceptance of admissions not processed through its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS). JAMB stated that such admissions could be declared invalid, jeopardizing candidates' academic futures.

This warning was communicated on Monday, October 12, via a video on JAMB's official X (formerly Twitter) page. Candidates are urged to confirm their admission status on CAPS before proceeding with any acceptance or related activities.

JAMB explained that offers processed outside the official pathway may lack legal standing and could lead to complications with admission records. The video is part of JAMB's ongoing JAMB Explained series, which addresses frequently asked questions.

JAMB also stressed the necessity of adhering to the approved process to ensure a solid foundation for academic journeys, especially as many candidates await placement decisions across various tertiary institutions.
