The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has initiated a pre-verification policy for candidates seeking registration for Direct Entry examinations. This policy applies specifically to candidates presenting pre-degree certificates from 15 institutions across Nigeria.
The decision to implement pre-verification stems from the failure of these institutions to respond to verification requests regarding the status of certificates issued during the 2023 Direct Entry registrations. Going forward, the pre-verification process will be conducted through the Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
JAMB clarified that candidates from institutions not included in the list of 15 will not undergo pre-verification exercises.
The affected institutions are:
1. Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria
2. University of Nigeria, Nsukka
3. Cross Rivers State College of Education
4. Kashim-Ibrahim College of Education, Borno
5. Nuhu Bamali Polytechnic, Kaduna
6. Ekiti State University, Ekiti
7. Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Ebonyi
8. College of Education, Katsina-Ala
9. Osun State College of Education, Osun
10. Shehu Shagari College of Education, Sokoto
11. College of Health Technology, Calabar
12. Federal College of Animal Health and Production Technology, Plateau
13. Best Solution Polytechnic, Akure
14. College of Education, Wakka-Biu
15. Federal University of Technology, Owerri
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed that the verification exercise aims to safeguard the integrity of A’level certificates and ensure their credibility in the admission process. Additionally, JAMB has implemented a "No Verification, No Admission" policy to underscore the importance of the verification process.

Furthermore, Oloyede highlighted the modification to the ongoing Direct Entry registration process, allowing candidates to register while their certificates undergo verification at the backend. However, candidates from the 15 institutions mentioned above must undergo pre-verification before completing their registration process.
