If JAMB actually regulates all admission offered to students, what then happen to students that were granted admission, but the admission did not pass through JAMB??‍♀️

Good Question, students under this category, that is, students that gained admission through IJMB (Interim Joint Matriculation Board), JUPEB (Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board), Part time, pre-degree program e.t.c will have to do what we call LATE APPLICATION, otherwise known as JAMB REGULARIZATION.

So yes, the admission was not through JAMB, but when push comes to shove, JAMB still have to regularize the admission, else you will not be able to enjoy some benefits such as; Print JAMB admission letter (a vital document for clearance), Apply for NYSC and lots more.

The Word “Regularization” according to Word web is ‘The act of bringing to uniformity; making regular’, with respect to admission processing, JAMB Regularization/late Application is the process whereby JAMB officially recognize the admission offered to a student that was not initially processed by board

Who Is Eligible For JAMB Regularization?

JAMB regularization is definitely not for all students, to be eligible for JAMB late application (Regularisation) you must be in any of the category below;

1. Students Whose Admission Is through direct entry (JUPEB, IJMB);

for these students, they will have to first register with JAMB, so even when they will not necessarily sit for any Exam, it is expedient that their details is first submitted to JAMB.

2. Part-Time Student

Admission to part-time program do not require JAMB processing or result, this is locally carried out by the school (University or Polytechnic) and as such, when the time is right you will have to regularize the admission offered to you with JAMB.

It is only through Regularization can go for NYSC as a Part Time student, so if you don’t do JAMB late Application, you will encounter difficulty when processing for NYSC.

3. HND Students

…although some schools may require you do this after completion of your HND program, others may prefer doing this prior to your admission.

4. Those Offered Admission To A Different Course In JAMB

If the course you were admitted into was not what you filled when registering for JAMB, then you will need to also apply for JAMB LATE APPLICATION, but this is only applicable to student who gained admission from 2017 downwards, from 2018 upward, all you have to do is to apply for JAMB change of Course.
