       JAMB Introduces Central Admission Processing System (CAPS) For 2
       017/2018 Admission

       Report from the ongoing JAMB policy meeting indicates that JAMB
       has introduced the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS)
       which is geared towards ensuring quality control, transparency
       and credibility of the admission process.
       According to a participant, the new policy is expected to make
       provision for a ‘market place’ in the JAMB portal where
       institutions can go and ‘request for students in Nigeria who
       score their cut off points.’
       These institutions will write to JAMB to request for the
       students and also give them (students) three days to respond.
       Also, only three universities can request for a candidate if the
       policy is adopted.
       The new policy is also expected to allow institutions in Nigeria
       peg their cut off point after meeting with their respective
       senates.
       The new policy will also give the academic board or senate of an
       institution the power to ‘allocate percentages to JAMB, the
       school and O’level results as these will be calculated to get
       the students’ cut off marks for post-UTME.’
       It was also learnt that JAMB wants to ensure there is a unified
       time for closing admission in all universities.
       If the policy sails through, there will be a portal for
       admission which will be based on cut off points, quota system
       and catchment areas.
       “The new system is such that institutions can only admit those
       who meet their cut off points,” an admission officer for a
       tertiary institution who was at the meeting said. “If a
       candidate does not meet the cut off, no matter whom he or she
       knows, such person cannot be admitted.”
       The official said the system was demonstrated to all the
       attendees at Monday’s meeting, most of whom expressed
       satisfaction with it.
       Also, the policy intends to make provisions for candidates to
       accept and reject any admission being offered to them.
       The intended policy also looks out for candidates who are unable
       to go for National Youth Service, NYSC, because they do not have
       JAMB admission letters. This set of students could be asked to
       pay a fee, about N10,000 for regularisation and would be able to
       go for the youth service.
       JAMB is expected to formally brief journalists on these new
       policies on Tuesday afternoon.```
