JAMB To Commence Admission Processes On Sept 15 For 2017/2018

The Joint Admission and Matriculation
Board says the admission processes for
2017/2018 will commence on Sept.15 and
close on Jan.31, 2018.



The Head of JAMB Information and Media,
Dr Fabian Benjamin, made this known to
the News Agency of Nigeria in Bwari, Abuja,
on Friday.



Benjamin said that the direct entry
applications for admission would close
Sept. 15.



He explained that students could only
secure admission after they might have
passed through the rudiments of admission
processes.



“We have come up with Central Admission
Processing System this year.



“This entails that once candidates are
admitted and the institution approves, then
JAMB will approve, the information about
the candidates will be keyed into CAPS
automatically.



“Candidates can monitor their admission
process through CAPS online and those
who want to get admission letter can do so
by printing such online.’’



According to him, CAPS will make record
gathering easy and give easy access to
students to print their admission letters
among other things.


“What we are trying to do now is that we
are looking at the perimeter realistically; we
decided to come up with new strategy
aimed at ensuring the actual data.”
