The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that all admissions in the nation’s tertiary institutions for the 2020/2021 Academic Session would end by 15th June 2021.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Head, Media and Information, has said this decision was collectively taken at a virtual meeting with Heads of Tertiary Institutions in the country on Wednesday, 24th February 2021.
The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, who spoke at the meeting, also said the meeting with the institutions was aimed at knowing the level they had reached on the 2020/21 admissions scale and to put necessary machinery in place for the 2021/2022 UTME/DE Registration Exercise.
“After a robust and insightful deliberation, members collectively agreed that all public universities are expected to finish their admissions on or before 15th May 2021, while the private universities and all IEIs, polytechnics, and COEs would complete theirs at the agreed date of 15th June 2021,” he said.

Prof. Oloyede also reminded the stakeholders that the chosen deadlines remained inviolable and binding on all institutions and that the Board would not tolerate any breaches of the collective decision that was made at the meeting.

The Board has, meanwhile, urged all institutions to adhere strictly to all advisories issued to them on inter/intra-university transfers, change of programmes and institutions, and other essential processes related to admission in order to avoid unnecessary bickerings that could endanger the future of innocent candidates and their subsequent mobilization for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
Professor Is-haq said that these advisories and procedures were to serve as a blueprint for how subsequent issues should be handled as they arise.
