The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) last week accused University of Abuja (UNIABUJA) and other unnamed institutions of offering illegal admissions to some candidates, warning that the examination body would reject any exercise done in contravention of its Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS).
CAPS is a platform created to ensure quality control, transparency and credibility of admission process. It is expected to make provision for a “market place” on JAMB portal, where institutions can go and request for students who scored above their cut off points.
The system is such that institutions can only admit those who meet their cut off points. If a candidate fails to meet the cut-off mark for a chosen course, that student would be denied admission.
