from UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates
trying to verify the authenticity of their
admission as appeared on their institution of
choice' website but not on JAMB website.
The candidates have asked questions like "My
name is on the admission list published on my
school of choice' website, but my admission
status on JAMB website says No Admission
Offered Yet, does it mean my admission is
fake?"
We want to categorically state that your
admission is authentic if it appeared on your
school's official website, even when it is yet to
appear on Jamb website. Anybody who says
otherwise is simply misleading you for selfish
interests!
Some persons online also claim that if
candidates does not have the JAMB admission
letter purchased through them, such
candidates were not actually admitted, even
when their names appeared on their school's
admission list. That's a fallacy !
There are a lot of reasons why some
candidates' name may be on school's
admission list but not on Jamb website and
thus cannot print the Jamb admission letter.
Such candidates admission are very much
valid!
Let's clear some misconceptions with the
following points;
1) Ideally, the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board ( JAMB) had sole
responsibility to determine who was admitted
into any higher institution in Nigeria, but now,
the schools actually has the final say on who
gets admitted, and thus is the only place you
can really get help whenever you have trouble
with your admission.
2) JAMB does not have any other way to
determine who is qualified for admission but
through the schools who organized Post Utme
screening tests. The admission lists on JAMB
website were first approved by the schools.
If you get the "no admission offered yet"
response on JAMB website when your name
has actually appeared on your school's
admission list, it's simply because JAMB is yet
to update their database with your details or
due to some errors while processing your
information which will definitely be sorted out
through your school.
In the case of double admission (I.e.
Candidates admitted into two different
institutions), Such candidates need to reject
the less preferred admission and accept the
more preferred one by following the
instructions supplied by the schools for such
cases.
3) Many schools actually do not compulsorily
ask for the admission letter printed from
JAMB website before admitted candidates can
be accepted to the school. Some schools even
issue the admission letter themselves.
Therefore, whenever your name appears on
your school of choice' admission list, we
advice you get to the school first, then follow
the instructions outlined there (and no where
else) to accept your admission and proceed
with your registration.
4) The JAMB admission letter is of course an
important document but you shouldn't be in a
rush to get one to avoid falling into the hands
of scammers. Only print the admission letter
when you are requested to do so by your
school.
Some schools request their students to pay
certain amount of money to process the
admission letter and validate their admission
even years after the admitted candidates have
already matriculated.
In the case of students admitted through pre-
degree and other related programs whose
names never appeared on JAMB website, they
will need to regularize their admission with
JAMB by following the instructions provided at
their school's admission unit.
5) You can always get the JAMB admission
letter anytime, even years after you were
admitted and you can do it yourself. You do
not need anyone to charge you outrageous
fees to get it for you.
You should also beware of scammers who
now send fake JAMB admission letters. A
word is enough for the wise!
