The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has given tertiary institutions the nod to begin first and second choice admissions for 2020/2021 from August 21.

The board said the deadline for admissions would be communicated to heads of tertiary institutions at a later date to be determined by the Federal Government.

JAMB insisted that the admission processes must be conducted on Central Admission Processing System, warning institutions not to bypass the system.

The board said these in its 2020 admission guidelines signed by its Registrar, Prof. IS-HAQ OLOYEDE, and released by its Head of Media and Information, Dr. FABIAN BENJAMIN.

JAMB explained that the guidelines for 2020 admission would enable participants in admission process to know what to do.

The board warned heads of institutions against flouting decisions of its 2020 policy meeting, insisting that all admissions must be carried out in honest and transparent manner.

The board reiterated it has stopped illegal or irregular admission in any form, saying all admissions must pass through it.
