JAMB Directs All Institutions to Upload Post-UTME Screening Results for Transparency and Fairness

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a directive to all tertiary institutions to upload the results of their post-UTME screening exercises. This move is part of JAMB's efforts to ensure transparency, equity, and fairness in the admission process for candidates seeking entry into various institutions across the country.

JAMB emphasized that this directive is crucial in curbing admissions infractions and eliminating unethical practices during the selection of candidates. The board noted that the initiative is a reinforcement of previous advisories sent to institutions, mandating them to account for all candidates who participated in their screening exercises.

The directive aims to prevent scenarios where highly qualified candidates are either denied admission or placed in programs outside their preferences to accommodate lower-scoring or less deserving candidates. According to JAMB, every candidate who sat for the post-UTME must be accounted for, with details such as total scores, rankings of O’level results, grading of the post-UTME examination, and records of absentee candidates being included in the documentation.

In the latest bulletin released on Monday, August 5, 2024, JAMB's Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, stated: “Institutions are to forward, by way of upload, the complete post-UTME scores for all their candidates through CAPS as part of requirements to be submitted before the recommendation of any successful candidates for admission.”
