JAMB to commence accreditation of centres for 2021 UTME after meeting with stakeholders today

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has scheduled a virtual meeting with its Technical Advisors, Security Agencies and other critical stakeholders for today Monday, 15th February 2021. The meeting is to discuss the modalities for the accreditation of centres to be used for the conduct of the 2021 UTME.
It was gathered that the accreditation exercise would commence immediately after the modalities are defined at the meeting. All old and new centres would be covered in the exercise.

This meeting became necessary given the huge successes recorded with the 2020 UTME exercise. The success has been attributed to the robust accreditation of the centres by the Technical Advisors, the security agencies and other stakeholders before the examination.

We expect 2021 UTME/DE sales of form to commence after the accreditation exercise. 2021 UTME Candidates are therefore advised to start preparing for their exams using the JAMB CBT softwares and JAMB CBT app

JAMB enables CAPS portal for 2020/2021 admission exercise

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that it has enabled its portal for institutions to upload names of shortlisted applicants for the 2020/2021 admission. The board emphasized that all admission processes must go through the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) for approval.

This was made known by the Registrar of JAMB, Prof Is-haq Oloyede during an interview with newsmen in Abuja.

According to him, only qualified candidates as recommended by their institutions for admission will be approved by the board.

He noted that most institutions, particularly private had commenced admission.

The registrar, however, added that public universities were yet to fully kick-start the process partly because they are yet to conclude admissions for last year.

Prof Oloyede said: “Take note also that admission is not just for universities. There are polytechnics and colleges of education and except for the closure because of COVID-19, they are not affected by the strike.
