JAMB Regularization 2023/2024
JAMB Regularization is a crucial process for students who gained admission to tertiary institutions through alternative routes such as direct entry (JUPEB, IJMB), part-time programs, or different courses in JAMB. This process ensures that their admissions are officially recognized by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB). In this guide, we will explore what JAMB Regularization entails, who is eligible for it, the requirements, and the steps to follow for a successful regularization.
JAMB Regularization, also known as late application, is the process through which JAMB officially recognizes admissions that were not initially processed by the board. It brings uniformity to the admission process and enables students to obtain their JAMB registration numbers and print their JAMB admission letters.
The following categories of students are eligible for JAMB Regularization:
a) Students whose admission is through direct entry (JUPEB, IJMB): These students need to register with JAMB, even though they may not be required to sit for the JAMB examination.
b) Part-time students: Admission to part-time programs is locally carried out by the respective institutions. To be eligible for NYSC as a part-time student, JAMB Regularization is necessary.
c) HND students: After completing their two-year ND program at a polytechnic, most students proceed to apply for HND. JAMB Regularization is required to ensure the recognition of their HND admission.
d) Those offered admission to a different course in JAMB: If the course a student was admitted to differs from the one they initially applied for in JAMB, they will need to apply for JAMB Regularization.
The cost of JAMB Regularization depends on whether the student already has a JAMB registration number:
- Students with JAMB registration numbers: ₦5,000
- Students without JAMB registration numbers (admission obtained in a different year than their JAMB registration): ₦10,000
To proceed with JAMB Regularization, the following requirements must be met:
- JAMB Registration Number (for students admitted in the same year as their JAMB registration)
- ₦5,000 (for students with JAMB registration numbers) or ₦10,000 (for students without JAMB registration numbers)
- O’ Level Result (WAEC/NECO/NABTEB)
- Student’s personal information (name, date of birth, gender, marital status, email address, phone number)
- Student’s admission/school information (course admitted into, school of admission, head of institution, registrar, matriculation number, matriculation year, graduation list)
- JAMB result (if applicable)
There are two methods for JAMB Regularization: processing at a JAMB office or online application through the student’s portal. However, currently, the online application method is not functional, and JAMB Regularization can only be done at JAMB offices. Here are the steps to follow for JAMB Regularization at a JAMB office:
