The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that all admissions in the nation’s tertiary institutions for the 2020/2021 Academic Session would end by 15th June, 2021.

According to JAMB’s Head, Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, this conclusion was collectively made at a virtual meeting with Heads of Tertiary Institutions in the country on Wednesday, 24th February 2021.

Speaking during the meeting, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, said “the meeting with the institutions was aimed at knowing the level they had reached on the 2020/21 admissions scale and to put necessary machinery in place for the 2021/2022 UTME/DE Registration Exercise”.

In his words, “After a robust and insightful deliberation, members collectively agreed that all public universities are expected to finish their admissions on or before 15th May, 2021, while the private universities and all IEIs, polytechnics and COEs would complete theirs at the agreed date of 15th June, 2021″.

Prof. Oloyede reminded the stakeholders that the chosen deadlines remained sacrosanct and binding on all institutions as the Board would not tolerate any breaches of the collective decision reached at the meeting.

The JAMB Registrar also disclosed that the Board would announce in a week’s time the commencement date for the sale of application documents for the 2021/2022 Academic Session.
