The Board stressed that this is crucial to avoid past mistakes that led to the condonement of illegal admissions—a practice the Federal Government is determined to eliminate permanently.

How to get admission through JAMB

JAMB urged all institutions to heed the warnings from the Honourable Minister of Education regarding the risks associated with bypassing Federal Government guidelines and neglecting JAMB advisories on admissions.

Additionally, JAMB highlighted the importance of adopting paperless communication for official correspondence by utilizing the Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS).

"This digitized platform facilitates communication between JAMB, tertiary institutions, and regulatory agencies in the education sector. The IBASS platform also serves as an essential tool for disseminating prescribed admission quotas and outlining course requirements." JAMB said.
