The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is responsible for conducting examinations for prospective undergraduates seeking admission into Nigerian universities. After the release of admission lists by universities, successful candidates are required to pay an admission acceptance fee. In this article, we will examine how long JAMB gives admission.
Background Information on JAMB Admission
JAMB releases a separate admission list on its website after the release of admission lists by universities. This list is known as the JAMB admission list and contains the names of candidates who have been offered admission into Nigerian universities. Candidates who have been offered admission by JAMB are required to pay an admission acceptance fee to accept the admission offered to them.
JAMB admission is usually given for the academic session immediately following the year in which the candidate wrote the UTME. For example, if a candidate wrote the UTME in 2021, the admission offered by JAMB will be for the 2021/2022 academic session.
How Long Does JAMB Give Admission?
JAMB usually gives admission from the month of November in the year of the UTME to the month of January of the following year. The admission process involves the release of admission lists by universities, which are then sent to JAMB for validation. Once JAMB validates the admission lists, it releases its own admission list on its website.
The admission process can take a few months, and candidates are advised to be patient during the process. The duration of the admission process can vary depending on the university and the course of study. Some universities may release their admission lists earlier than others, and some courses may have a longer admission process than others.
Candidates who have been offered admission by JAMB are required to pay an admission acceptance fee to accept the admission offered to them. The admission acceptance fee is a compulsory fee and must be paid within the stipulated deadline. Failure to pay the admission acceptance fee may result in the candidate forfeiting the admission offered to them.
After the admission acceptance fee has been paid, candidates are required to proceed with clearance and registration at the university they have been offered admission to. Clearance and registration involve the verification of the candidate’s credentials and the payment of various fees required by the university.
Conclusion
In conclusion, JAMB usually gives admission from the month of November in the year of the UTME to the month of January of the following year. The admission process can take a few months, and candidates are advised to be patient during the process. Candidates who have been offered admission by JAMB are required to pay an admission acceptance fee to accept the admission offered to them and proceed with clearance and registration at the university. Candidates should ensure that they meet the admission requirements of the university and that they accept their admission within the deadline set by the university.
