Stay tuned for valuable insights!

JAMB, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, is responsible for overseeing the admission process for tertiary education institutions, including universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education, both public and private. However, it is important to note that students can sometimes gain admission to schools without going through the JAMB process.

JAMB regularization is a mandatory process for students who have obtained admission through alternative programs such as IJMB, JUPEB, part-time studies, or pre-degree programs. This process is necessary to ensure that these admissions align with JAMB’s regulations and are officially recognized. Without regularization, students may not be able to access certain benefits, such as printing the JAMB admission letter (an important document for clearance) and applying for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program.

In this article, I will explain the concept of JAMB regularization, provide details about the requirements, guide you through the registration process, and address common questions. So relax, pay attention, and benefit from the information shared.

JAMB Registration Form: Everything You Need to Know

What is JAMB Regularization

JAMB regularization is the process through which the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) officially recognizes admissions that were not initially processed by the board. It brings uniformity and regularizes the admission status of students who did not follow the standard JAMB admission process.

Who is eligible for JAMB Regularization

To be eligible for JAMB regularization, you must fall into one of the following categories:

  1. Students admitted through direct entry programs such as JUPEB or IJMB. Even though they may not be required to sit for an exam, it is necessary for these students to register with JAMB and submit their details.
  2. Part-time students who were admitted without going through JAMB. Admission to part-time programs is typically handled by the university or polytechnic itself. However, to ensure proper recognition and eligibility for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), these students need to undergo JAMB regularization.
  3. HND (Higher National Diploma) students who have completed their two-year ND (National Diploma) program in a polytechnic. To have their HND admission recognized by JAMB, they must go through the regularization process. Some schools may require this to be done after completing the HND program, while others may prefer it to be done prior to admission.
  4. Students who were offered admission into a different course than the one they initially filled during JAMB registration. If the admission took place from 2017 or earlier, these students need to apply for JAMB regularization. However, from 2018 onwards, they should apply for JAMB change of course instead.

If you determine that you fall into one of these categories and need to undergo JAMB regularization, you can follow the guide provided to ensure you take the necessary steps to complete the process.
