The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it will no longer condone illegal admissions by institutions through the ‘Condonment of Illegal Admissions’ window.
According to Benjamin, JAMB’s spokesperson, the board had previously requested that institutions disclose all illegitimate admissions offered outside the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) between 2017 and 2020.
However, despite the warning, some institutions have continued to admit candidates outside CAPS and then applied for condonment. Regrettably, some institutions have even backdated recent admissions to 2020 to exploit the condonment window.
As a result, JAMB is terminating the aspect of the condonment process that allows unregistered candidates to be introduced to the system. Only CAPS is authorized for admissions.
Candidates who were illegally admitted between 2017 and 2020 will soon lose the opportunity for a waiver unless they are disclosed within the next month.
The disclosure period begins on August 1.
