Speaking during the meeting, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB), Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, disclosed the meeting with the institutions was targeted at knowing the point they had gotten to on the 2020/21 admissions scale and to put needful machinery in place for the 2021/2022 UTME/DE Registration Exercise
In his words, “After a robust and insightful deliberation, members collectively agreed that all public universities are expected to finish their admissions on or before 15th May, 2021, while the private universities and all IEIs, polytechnics and COEs would complete theirs at the agreed date of 15th June, 2021.

Meanwhile, the Board has advised all institutions to stick strictly to all advisories giving to them on inter/intra-university transfers, foreign inter-university transfers and fresh foreign candidates, change of programmes and institutions and other essential processes related to admission in order to avoid unnecessary bickerings that could endanger the future of innocent candidates and their subsequent mobilization for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). He disclosed these advisories and procedures were to serve as guides for them on how to handle the various issues as they arose.
