The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board Examination, Transition from Paper and Pencil to Computer Based Training

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board which are in charge of admission into the tertiary institution has introduced several significant changes to its admission policies, focuses on regulating student matriculation, enhancing transparency through the technology and strengthening the Central Admission Process System (CAPS). However, the Federal Government, via Minister of Education, has mandated an 18years minimum for admission into the tertiary institution, with minimum cut-of mars of 140 for universities and 100 for polytechnics, Colleges of education, and Colleges of health.  All admissions must go through the JAMB CAP Portal. The digital system acts as the sole, official mechanism for admissions, replacing manual processes and reducing fraud.
