The Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) regularization is a process that solves every problem associated with admission irregularities or mistakes by graduates and students.
The following are the reasons why you’d be required to regularise your admission;
- NYSC Mobilization: Your name won’t appear on the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Senate List if your admission isn’t regularized.
- Direct Entry Application: You’ll need a valid JAMB registration number and admission details for Direct Entry into another institution.
- Official Recognition: It ensures your admission is officially recognised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board.
- Addressing Errors: It helps correct any errors in your admission details.
- Obtaining JAMB Admission Letter: Regularization allows you to obtain an official JAMB admission letter.
The process for admission regularization is done by your school where you’re currently studying or graduated, and at the JAMB office.
