The Big Picture: No More Backdoor Admissions
First things first, JAMB is putting its foot down on unofficial admissions. They’re saying loud and clear: if it’s not through CAPS (Central Admissions Processing System), it’s not happening!
This means no more “special admissions” or backdoor entries. It’s all about keeping things fair and square for everyone.
Going Digital: Say Hello to IBASS
JAMB is embracing the digital age with open arms. They’re rolling out this cool system called IBASS (Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System).
It’s basically a one-stop shop for all official communication between JAMB, universities, and other education bigwigs. No more paper trails – it’s all going digital!
Email Drama: Only Official Addresses Allowed
Here’s a heads-up for all you university admins out there: JAMB is getting strict with emails. Only official university email addresses will work for accessing CAPS.
So, if you’ve been using your personal Gmail to handle admissions, it’s time for a change!

The Minister’s Warning: Don’t Try to Outsmart the System
JAMB isn’t playing around. They’ve even brought up warnings from the Education Minister. The message? Don’t even think about bypassing the rules.
It seems like some institutions have been trying to bend the system, and JAMB is saying, “Not on our watch!”
Part-Time Programs: The Weekend Warriors
Oh, and for those considering part-time programs, JAMB has a little PSA: legit part-time courses usually happen on weekends or at specific times.
If someone’s offering a “part-time” program that runs daily like a regular course, that’s a red flag!
What This Means for You
If you’re gearing up for university admissions in 2024/2025, here’s the deal:
- Make sure your chosen institution is playing by JAMB’s rules.
- Keep an eye on official channels for updates – no more relying on rumors or unofficial sources.
- If something seems fishy about an admission offer, double-check with JAMB’s official guidelines.
Wrapping It Up
JAMB is clearly on a mission to clean up the admission process.
It might seem strict, but in the long run, it’s all about making sure everyone gets a fair shot at higher education.
