Lately, we have received a lot of
inquiries from UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates trying to verify
the authenticity of their admission as appeared on their institution of
choice' website but not on JAMB website.
In the case of double admission (I.e. Candidates admitted into two different institutions), Such candidates need to reject the less preferred admission and accept the more preferred one by following the instructions supplied by the schools for such cases.
Therefore, whenever your name appears on your school of choice' admission list, we advice you get to the school first, then follow the instructions outlined there (and no where else) to accept your admission and proceed with your registration.
Some schools request their students to pay certain amount of money to process the admission letter and validate their admission even years after the admitted candidates have already matriculated.
In the case of students admitted through pre-degree and other related programs whose names never appeared on JAMB website, they will need to regularize their admission with JAMB by following the instructions provided at their school's admission unit.
The candidates have asked questions like "My name is on the admission list published on my school of choice' website, but my admission status on JAMB website says No Admission Offered Yet, does it mean my admission is fake?"
We want to categorically state that your
admission is authentic if it appeared on your school's official
website, even when it is yet to appear on Jamb website. Anybody who says
otherwise is simply misleading you for selfish interests!
Some persons online also claim that if
candidates does not have the JAMB admission letter purchased through
them, such candidates were not actually admitted, even when their names
appeared on their school's admission list. That's a fallacy!
There are a lot of reasons why some
candidates' name may be on school's admission list but not on Jamb
website and thus cannot print the Jamb admission letter. Such candidates
admission are very much valid!
Let's clear some misconceptions with the following points;
1) Ideally, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
had sole responsibility to determine who was admitted into any higher
institution in Nigeria, but now, the schools actually has the final say
on who gets admitted, and thus is the only place you can really get help
whenever you have trouble with your admission.
2)
JAMB does not have any other way to determine who is qualified for
admission but through the schools who organized Post Utme screening
tests. The admission lists on JAMB website were first approved by the
schools.
If you get the "no admission offered yet" response on JAMB website when your name has actually appeared on your school's admission list, it's simply because JAMB is yet to update their database with your details or due to some errors while processing your information which will definitely be sorted out through your school.

3) Many
schools actually do not compulsorily ask for the admission letter
printed from JAMB website before admitted candidates can be accepted to
the school. Some schools even issue the admission letter themselves.
Therefore, whenever your name appears on your school of choice' admission list, we advice you get to the school first, then follow the instructions outlined there (and no where else) to accept your admission and proceed with your registration.
4)
The JAMB admission letter is of course an important document but you
shouldn't be in a rush to get one to avoid falling into the hands of
scammers. Only print the admission letter when you are requested to do
so by your school.
Some schools request their students to pay certain amount of money to process the admission letter and validate their admission even years after the admitted candidates have already matriculated.
In the case of students admitted through pre-degree and other related programs whose names never appeared on JAMB website, they will need to regularize their admission with JAMB by following the instructions provided at their school's admission unit.
5) You can always get the JAMB admission
letter anytime, even years after you were admitted and you can do it
yourself. You do not need anyone to charge you outrageous fees to get it
for you.
You should also beware of scammers who now send fake JAMB admission letters. A word is enough for the wise!
