On Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
NOTE: The JAMB chief said the admission-exercise for the 2020/2021 Session would be conducted on the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS).
The CAPS is an admission processing system that is geared towards ensuring quality control, transparency and credibility of the admission process.
JAMB tasked the three higher education regulatory bodies – The National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), the National Universities Commission (NUC), and the National Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE ) – to cooperate with it to ensure full compliance with the guidelines.
The board said it has stopped unlawful or irregular admission in any form, saying all admissions must pass through it.
“All requests for admissions to National Diploma, National Innovation Diploma, First Degree, and the Nigeria Certificate in Education into Full Time, Distance Learning, Part-Time, Sandwich, must be processed ONLY through the JAMB,” it said.
The board also said institutions involved in selling or advertising application forms for admissions into the programmes should stop henceforth.

“Institutions should advise candidates to apply to them through JAMB. Duplication of application forms is NOT allowed, No Institution is allowed to publish, announce, exhibit or paste any name(s) of the admitted candidate without prior approval of the name on CAPS,” the board said.
About Post UTME.
On advertorials, JAMB said institutions that wish to place advertisement can do so by advising applicants who applied for the current UTME to change to their institution as First (1st) Choice rather than requesting the candidates to purchase another application.
“The reason is to avoid the problem of double registration which is a violation of the JAMB mandate,” said by Mr Oloyede.
“No institution has the right to recommend or admit any candidate whose UTME score is below the following threshold: Degree — 160; ND — 120; NCE — 100; NID — 100.”
He also said no institution can graduate a student who has not been a full-time student of that institution for at least 2 consecutive years.
“ Affiliated (Associated) institutions are to use the same minimum UTME scores as the mother institutions,”
