The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will begin full online accreditation of tertiary institutions and admissions in January, 2023.
JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made the disclosure in Enugu on Tuesday at the training of heads of tertiary institutions in the South East on its newly introduced online platforms.
Oloyede said the aim was to improve communication and ease admission process at tertiary institutions.
The participants were Vice Chancellors, Provosts, Rectors, Registrars, Admission Officers, Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academics and others.
They were trained on Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) and Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS) newly introduced by the board for quality and efficient services.
Declaring the training open, the JAMB Registrar, said the training was aimed at bridging the communication gap between JAMB, tertiary institutions and its regulatory agencies.
Oloyede, who spoke through zoom, said the board engaged the participants to make things easier for all the stakeholders through JAMB online initiatives.
He said, “We created CAPS as a technical platform for JAMB officials and heads of institutions- the Vice Chancellors, Rectors and others to interact efficiently.
“So when it comes to CAPS, admissions become seamless,” he said.
The registrar recalled that in 2017, the board created appropriate and adequate platform for candidates/students to interact with JAMB.
