A student visiting the JAMB office in Ikoyi for DE registration was informed that starting the regularization process at that time wouldn't align with the ongoing JAMB Direct Entry registration deadline.
One more question please, We were told at the Ikoyi office that we can’t apply for DE because by the time we apply for regularization and expect an admission letter, JAMB DE would be closed by then. What's the solution? We were also told we have to book an appointment before regularization is done. So, if you're trying to start now, what's your own fate?
The official reply was straightforward but did not directly address whether the student would meet the deadline if the regularization process were started immediately.
Regularization is a complex process. It passes through various procedures before being approved or disapproved. As such, you can't be sure of meeting up with the ongoing registration deadline.
So, what's your fate if you decide to start now?
Key Takeaways:
- Deadline Concern: Concerns about meeting the DE application deadline due to the regularization process are understandable but shouldn't deter you from pursuing regularization.
- Future Opportunities: Even if you miss the deadline this year, regularization approval is necessary for future attempts, so completing the process is crucial.
- Long Processing Time: The regularization process involves several steps and may take longer than expected due to administrative procedures.
- Educational Purpose: Understanding the complexity of the regularization process is essential to manage expectations and plan accordingly.
Don't Worry About the Deadline for DE Application
Yes, you don't have to worry about the deadline. Just continue with the regularization. For one reason, it's a-must for you—if your situation requires it. So, it's unavoidable if you must pursue further studies for a degree. So, why worry about the deadline?
Even if you won't meet up this year, you'll still need the regularization approval for another attempt next year. So, completing the regularization but not being able to use it this year doesn't stop you from using it next year.
If you delay the regularization out of fear of missing out on the DE registration this year, you might still face a tight timeline next year to complete the process before the next DE cycle. Moreover, the regularization process and its approval may take longer than the expected timeframe.
Talking of the Time Frame for the Regularization Processing, ...
You see, in my post, "How Long Does JAMB Regularization Take to Be Approved?" I've clarified that it shouldn't take more than a day for the regularization to be approved by the board if your school has correctly done its part. However, that's only if you've completed the registration, submitted it to the school, the school has signed and stamped it, and forwarded it back to JAMB.
If you take note, there is a long process or activities involved between the application and the final approval. That's why the student above was addressed as such, and you should know that could be your fate too.
In fact, for educational purposes and exposure, below are the entire processes involved in the regularization. As such, you won't argue if I say it can take more than a year to be completed:
- The institutions should first declare the number of candidates admitted outside CAPS by sending a formal letter of confession and disclosure (LCD) to the Registrar of JAMB.
- The letter of confession and disclosure should have the list of candidates attached. A copy of the letter and the list of candidates should be sent to JAMB state office where the institution is located. The list and total number of affected candidates for each year of admission should be clearly specified with the Programme (i.e., Course of Study).
- If the Board, upon receiving the letter (and after due scrutiny and investigations), grants approval, the institution shall be contacted within 2 weeks of acknowledged receipt of the LCD.
- The portal is then opened for the Institution to upload the list of candidates already submitted.
- The letter of approval from JAMB to the institution and the uploaded list shall contain the following: (i) the academic year for which the retroactive approval is granted; ((ii) total number of candidates, and (iii) the period of grace (not exceeding 60 days) within which the affected candidates must complete the process of Condonement of Undisclosed Illegal Institutional Admission (CUIIA). Only the candidates declared by the institutions are to visit JAMB office and complete the appropriate form online after paying the prescribed fee (L12 the application fee of N4,000 only is paid by those without JAMB Registration number for the year and N5,000 penalty paid by every candidate involved.
- The records of the candidates shall then be made available on CAPS after they have completed the online process.
- The Admission Officer of the Institution shall retroactively propose formally the candidates to the Head of Institution who in turn shall recommend the candidates within the specified time.
- The JAMB Desk officer too shall retroactively approve the candidates on CAPS within the original list submitted by the institution. After approval, the previously illegal students will be able to print their JAMB admission letters from e-facility on the JAMB Portal.
- It should be noted that the admission letter would henceforth carry the date of the retroactive approval and not be backdated to protect the Board's integrity of the data it might have provided before the condonement. The admission letter would also be named "Retroactive Letter of Admission" to reflect the correct history of the admission.
- Please note that only candidates on the list declared by the institutions shall be attended to at the JAMB office. The Board shall not extend the period of grace granted to each institution. Any candidate who does not complete the process within the allotted (maximum two months) grace period loses the remedial opportunity.
