JAMB Outlines 2026 Admission Criteria in New Video

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released a video on September 9, 2026, detailing three major criteria that influence admission decisions for candidates applying to their preferred institutions and courses for the 2026 academic cycle. This initiative is part of JAMB's ongoing series, *JAMB Explained*, aimed at guiding candidates through the admission process and improving transparency.

The specific criteria were not listed in writing; candidates were encouraged to view the video for comprehensive details. The post garnered significant attention, prompting candidates to voice unresolved issues, including concerns about their admission statuses.

For instance, @efeeose inquired about her daughter's status showing "Not Admitted" despite an admission offer, while @Nimi_Cakes reported her sister's status as "Admission in Progress" for three weeks. Other candidates raised questions about the necessity of O'level verification and issues with result uploads.

JAMB's efforts are designed to assist candidates in making informed choices during their admission journey.
