The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has opened its portal for the 2020/2021 admissions.
The portal gives access to institutions to upload names of shortlisted entries for the 2020/2021 admissions.
JAMB spokesman Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a telephone interview on Wednesday.
He quoted the Registrar of JAMB, Ishaq 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,” he said.
According to a weekly bulletin released from the Office of the Registrar, JAMB is 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,” it said.
The delay in the start of the sale of the application forms, according to the Board, is due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it said necessary arrangements would soon resume.
