The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board says its portal has been reopened for 2020/2021 admissions.
The board said opening the portal gives institutions access to upload names of shortlisted applicants for the 2020/2021 admissions.
The spokesperson for JAMB , Fabian Benjamin, confirmed this in a telephone interview on Wednesday .
When our correspondent visited the JAMB ’ s website on Wednesday, the portal had been opened .
He quoted the Registrar of JAMB , Prof Is -haq Oloyede , as saying that admission processes must go through the Central Admission Processing System for approval.
“ Of course, long ago . Any institution, not just public that wants to is already uploading , ” Oloyede was quoted as saying .
Earlier, JAMB warned the public not to fall prey to fraudsters and rumour mongers.
The board who gave the advice in a weekly bulletin of the Office of the Registrar said that it has yet to begin the sale of the 2021 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination forms.
” JAMB reiterates that it has not begun the sale of its 2021 UTME and Direct Entry application forms, neither has it announced a date for the exercise.
” The clarification became necessary following fake news that the board has begun the sale and was urging prospective applicants to procure same from some nebulous selling outlets .
” The public is to note that the news of the purported sale of the registration forms is false and an attempt to mislead the public. ”
JAMB explained that the delay in the start of the sale of the application forms was as a result of the prevailing COVID -19 pandemic in the country but would conclude arrangements soon .
