The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified that the board is not involved in the admission process for higher national diploma (HND) students.
Earlier, there were claims by some HND students accusing the
board of being responsible for their inability to go for their National Youth
Service scheme (NYSC).
The students were said to have claimed they were not
mobilised for service because they did a part-time programme for their national
diploma (ND).
Fabian Benjamin, the JAMB spokesperson, said the board has
no involvement, authority, or control over the admissions process for HND
candidates.
He said JAMB is also not responsible for other higher
institutions’ programmes besides their regular admissions.
The board added that candidates’ HND admissions are “unknown
and irrelevant” to the mandate of JAMB.
“The law that established JAMB states, ‘For the avoidance of
doubt, the board shall be responsible for determining matriculation
requirements and conducting examinations leading to undergraduate admissions,
as well as for admissions to National Diploma and Nigerian Certificate in
Education courses. However, the Board shall not be responsible for examinations
or any other selective processes for postgraduate courses or any other courses
offered by tertiary institutions,” Benjamin said.
JAMB earlier gave a 30-day ultimatum to institutions in
August to declare all admissions conducted outside its processing system.
