JAMB BEGINS RESULTS VERIFICATION,SAY NO VERIFICATION,NO ADMISSIONS
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has commenced the verification of all A’level qualifications presented during the 2023 Direct Entry exercise warning that there would no admissions for unverified results and certificates.
It is essential to explain that the admission process for some of the Direct Entry candidates is currently experiencing some hitches as verification requests sent to some institutions have not been honoured.
The Board therefore, urged the institutions concerned to treat the requests with a sense of urgency as the verification exercise is aimed at detecting and preventing fraudulent claims, thereby ensuring credibility and adherence to international best practices.
Furthermore, the Board explained that it is in the best interest of the institutions to do the needful and ensure that all verification requests are honoured as without verification of their respective results, these candidates would not be considered for admission.
The Board, therefore, enjoined candidates to check their verification status on their e-Facility profiles to know their status. To facilitate the task of verification and to ease the concerns raised by some institutions, the Board has disclosed its intention to provide the names of JUPEB and IJMB students, who have provided incorrect Examination Numbers/Registration Numbers/Foundation Numbers, thereby obstructing their verification and eventual clearance.
Affected candidates are, therefore, advised to approach their respective examination body and then apply to JAMB for A’level Data Correction.
It would be recalled that it was the startling revelations and fraudulent activities that pervaded the acquisition of A’level certificates that led to the creation of the Nigeria Post-secondary Education Data System(NIPEDS), which, since its inception, has further exposed unwholesome practices that had pervaded the sector in recent years.
