- JAMB urged certain ordinary national diploma (OND) students to apply for regularisation as soon as possible
- Legit.ng understands that candidates of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) without official JAMB admission letters need to apply for the regularisation
- The step is to standardise the students' current status in a higher institution with the admissions board
FCT, Abuja - The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has confirmed the August deadline for national diploma (ND) students of 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 sets to regularise if they do not possess its (JAMB's) admission letters.
Legit.ng reports that ND (or OND) is a polytechnic certificate for a two-year course with which the holder can be offered admission into a higher national diploma (HND).
JAMB maintained that failure by the concerned students to regularise within the stipulated timeline will disqualify them from participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). ND students who did not regularise will also be prohibited from applying for direct entry (DE) — a route that can get them admission to 200 level in the university.
A social media user, @UsenHenry1, asked JAMB to verify the viral message on the imminent end of regularisation. The widely-circulated post reads:
END OF JAMB REGULARISATION
This is to inform you that, National Diploma Students of 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 sets that JAMB has set the end of this month (AUGUST 2024) as the deadline for students in the above-mentioned sets who do not possess JAMB admission letter to regularise.
It is imperative to note that failure by the concerned Students to regularise within the stipulated timeline translates to NO NYSC, NO DIRECT ENTRY, NO EXEMPTION/EXCLUSION LETTER
Treat this as a matter of urgency if you are yet to do that. No matter the level you are right now if you belong to the above-mentioned set kindly go and do. Thank you.
Responding, JAMB wrote on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle:
"The message is true. If you fall within this category of candidates, you are urged to make hay while the sun shines."
