The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has, in compliance with statutory admissions requirements, published on its website the 2019 Provisional Matriculation List of admitted candidates who have accepted their offers of admission by the various tertiary institutions in Nigeria as well as the names of candidates who have been offered admission by these tertiary institutions but are yet to accept such offers.
JAMB stated this in the latest edition of its weekly publication, JAMBulletin released on Sunday by its Head of Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin.
According to the Board, “The list of fully-admitted candidates in all the tertiary institutions in the country is hereby published on the Board’s website. For ease of checking, candidates can visit: www.jamb.org.gov., proceed to menu titled ‘STUDENTS+’, select the submenu ‘CHECK MATRICULATION LIST 2019’ option and search for their names by entering their ten-digit JAMB Registration Number.
“There is a large number of candidates who have been offered PROVISIONAL ADMISSION BUT ARE YET TO ACCEPT the admission. A list containing their names is also on display on the Board’s website and such candidates are to immediately accept such offers by using the CAPS Mobile App downloaded from the Google Play Store. With the App successfully installed and accessed on their devices, candidates do not need to visit any CBT centre or cybercafe as doing so would be a violation of the work-from-home/stay-at home order in place in most parts of the country.
JAMB added that “Candidates should note that failure to accept such offers of admission on the CAPS platform would result in the forfeiture of such admissions. Candidates are also to note that acceptance of admission on any website other than CAPS is not a valid acceptance as any admission not processed and accepted through CAPS is not known to JAMB.
“Alternatively, affected candidates who are not sure of their 2019 admission status can check for such from their phones by sending “STATUS 2019” to 55019. However, in the event of any challenges, candidates are to lodge their complaints immediately by using the online ticketing platform at support.jamb.gov.ng under “2019 Admission List Issue”. Candidates are to note that only those who had accepted their offers of admissions on CAPS and whose names appear on the Provisional Matriculation List are recognised as bona fide students of the various institutions.
“By implication, if a candidate’s name is not on this published list which will be sent to all tertiary institutions, NYSC and other stakeholders, his/her application for mobilisation in the NYSC scheme, employment, among others, would be declined.”
