JAMB Suspends Admission for 10,378 DE Students due to Unverified Certificates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has taken the step to suspend the admission of 10,378 candidates who participated in the 2023 Direct Entry examination. This action is a result of their A-level issuing institutions’ failure to submit verification reports to JAMB.

In February 2023, JAMB issued an advisory to guide candidates seeking admissions through Direct Entry for the 2023/2024 academic session. The advisory aimed to address concerns about candidates using unacceptable or forged A-level certificates/qualifications to secure admission.

Recently, JAMB instructed candidates to promptly contact their former institutions for certificate verification, emphasizing its refusal to admit students with unverified certificates. While a substantial number of institutions responded positively to JAMB’s request, over 240 institutions, mainly polytechnics and colleges of education, failed to submit verification reports for A-level results of admission seekers.

JAMB’s report, obtained by The Press, highlighted that the Nigeria Post-secondary Education Data System (NIPEDS) conducted verification exercises to curb sharp practices and inconsistencies in the ongoing 2023 Direct Entry admission process. The report indicated that candidates holding certificates from institutions that did not respond to the verification request would not be considered for admission until verification is completed.

An analysis of the affected institutions reveals some with the highest number of unverified A-level results, including Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria (1,314 candidates); Adeniran Ogunsanya College of Education (611 candidates); Aminu Saleh College of Education (269 candidates); College of Education, Minna (248 candidates); Federal College of Education, Okene (164 candidates); Federal College of Education, Kotangora (164 candidates); Federal College of Education, Abeokuta (383 candidates), among others.
