When Will JAMB and Schools Give Admissions For 2024?

JAMB logo

Despite recent disruptions, admission processes for the 2024/2025 academic year are expected to follow a similar timeline as previous years, with JAMB likely accelerating its activities and institutions possibly favoring screening over exams to expedite admissions, while avoiding mass admissions and ensuring JAMB CAPS remains the primary medium for offering spaces.

A few students had asked me when admissions would be given this year. Students and parents are generally worried about how JAMB and institutions will offer admissions for the 2024/2025 academic year.

Time of Offering Admission May Not Significantly Change

We can, with common sense, conclude that the time of offering admissions should be different from the previous years. After all, many things had been affected and economically paralyzed, so school activities should be slow. Hence, making the time of admission extended by months.

Won't you be surprised if that is not the case for very many universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education? Won't you wonder if our institutions' dates of activities are still met notwithstanding?

For reference, JAMB usually draws an admission calendar for institutions to follow and meet up with the deadlines to admit intakes. When we didn't have pandemics, most institutions still struggled to meet up while some even released all their lists before the deadlines.

Obviously, calendars had been disorganized. But, when will schools admit for the year? Or do you get clues as to when admissions will start to be given by JAMB and schools?

Possible References to Admissions in Scenarios Like This

Coming out of the national strike, election, its aftermath, economic depression, etc., a few things may be adjusted this year. Below should be expected for the admission activities this year.

1. JAMB May Likely Hasten After-UTME Activities

It'll be no surprise if JAMB rushes all admission activities following the lifting of the resumption of schools, and the conclusion of the UTME. The board did not extend the sales of JAMB forms.


Especially for the change of institutions and courses, candidates should be on alert as various institutions are likely to rush the sales of their post-UTME forms. 

That takes us to the next point.

2. Institutions Will Be Forced to Hasten Post UTMEs/Screenings

Whether JAMB rushes activities or not, most universities will be left with no other choice than to rush their after-UTME activities. Of course, as soon as UTME results were released last year, schools like Kwara State University and Tai Solarin University of Education started the sales of their first batch of admission screening forms.

Before or as soon as JAMB announces national cut-off marks, several private universities will start to sell their forms e.g. BOWEN, BACKCOCK, etc., and competitions will be tense among public institutions as soon as possible. See Top 100 Private Universities in Nigeria: Addresses and Websites.

Similar to this is the duration of sales of the form. Schools may have to shorten the number of weeks usually used to sell their forms. Where a school usually sells for 6 weeks, you should expect 3 weeks this time.

3. Some Institutions May Be Forced to Screen Instead

There are two possible forms your institution's post UTME may take. Some schools will adopt exams while others will choose the screening. But for the 2024/2025 admission year, most universities, polytechnics, and colleges will give in to screenings even if they're known for exams.

Of course, it takes schools time to conduct the online registrations, schedule for CBT test, conduct and supervise the exams. Due to time factors, some stubborn schools adopting the test method before may bend to screening only this time. This will save time and other resources.

4. There Won't Be Free or Mass Admissions

Some candidates are already speculating that universities won't have other choices than to give applicants mass admissions. There's nothing like that. Stop daydreaming!

That could be possible for primary and secondary schools. But, for our higher institutions of learning, there won't be mass admissions.  

In fact, some candidates were already rejoicing when they heard JAMB was already offering admissions for the year 2024. I discarded the rumor and explained what truly happened in my post, "JAMB Giving Admission for this Year: Is it True?".

What is possible is for most institutions to leave their admissions to JAMB only. In other words, such schools won't do any online registrations, conduct entrance tests, or screening. Instead, they will allow JAMB to decide on candidates that merit their offers based on the scores in UTME. 

Of course, that's not new as schools such as Federal College of Agric Moor Plantation Ibadan and a few others were used to this method most often.

5. JAMB CAPS Activities Will Be Fast

A very important part of yearly admission activities is the JAMB CAPS. This is the medium through which institutions offer admissions now. It's on the same platform JAMB is monitoring how institutions are distributing spaces. Read JAMB Doesn't Give Admission to Candidates - JAMB Warns!.

Starting from being 'recommended for admission' to the stage, 'admitted', it takes more time than necessary before now. As for this year, candidates should be quick to follow their admission progress on CAPS as what was used to be delayed may not suffer the same fate this year.

6. Closer Resumption Date For the Newly Admitted Candidates

With the pace of admission activities from JAMB and various institutions, the resumption dates for the newly admitted students will be quicker than usual. This is equally necessitated for schools that still have outstanding admissions.

It's possible to rely on the last speed of activities after schools had released lists. This time, be warned, things will be different. You may need to get your pieces of stuff ready as soon as you're offered a space in a school because lectures may start before you even know it.

Conclusion

No one will doubt that things will be different with admission activities this year. Even though some schools have not completed their last sessions, various institutions are open for decision-makers to strategize things ahead of the next resumption. You won't be surprised if many schools don't miss out on a day in their calendars as they'd already finetuned things in advance.

    1. First, be on the lookout for extension. The university may extend the sales of the form to let those just changed reflect and continue with their registrations.

      If however no extension, you should change to another university who form is still on and will take a few weeks or days before closing.
