…as NUC unveils crackdown on over-admission, AI misuse … working with varsities to automate transcript request By Joseph Erunke, Abuja The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board ,JAMB,has issued a stern warning to admission seekers, declaring that candidates who accept “backdoor” admissions from tertiary institutions outside its Central Admissions Processing System ,CAPS, do so at their own risk and may ultimately forfeit recognition as legitimate students.
The Registrar explained that once a candidate accepts admission through CAPS and prints the admission letter, the person’s details are automatically transferred to JAMB’s matriculation list, which serves as the official record of legally admitted students.
The warning came as the National Universities Commission ,NUC, announced plans to intensify nationwide monitoring of universities to curb illegal admissions beyond approved carrying capacities, while also rolling out stricter measures to regulate the use of Artificial Intelligence,AI, in Nigerian universities.
