JAMB sets age limit for 2024/2025 varsity admissions
The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB), has informed tertiary institutions across Nigeria that they can now admit candidates who are 15 years old, provided they turn 16 by August 2025.
______This update comes as a modification to the earlier directive issued during JAMB’s policy meeting, which set 16 years as the minimum age for the 2024/2025 academic session.
_____According to a letter signed by Muhammed Babaji on behalf of JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, and dated October 16, 2024, the board stated that institutions could consider candidates who meet the age requirement by August 2025.
_____JAMB noted that while the initial cut-off date was set for December 31, 2024, it recognized that some institutions might extend their admissions process through mid-2025.
Institutions are encouraged to send in their lists of eligible candidates by the stipulated timeline.
,,,,,,JAMB revealed that this adjustment aims to promote fairness while maintaining institutional standards and policies.
_____Institutions that choose to uphold the December 2024 age limit remain free to do so.
