Oloyede urged the heads of the various tertiary institutions to set their modalities for admissions exercises as it was not the board’s responsibility.

“JAMB has a Central Admissions Processing System (CAPS) to aid you on the admission exercises,” he said.
“CAPS will not replace admission processes of institutions. It will enable institutions to simply communicate with JAMB in a more dynamic and timely manner.
“It will also allow for flexible cut-off marks and candidates are allowed to make their choice of institution and course.”
He appealed to heads of institutions not to charge more than N2,000 for admissions’ processes.
NAN reports that the meeting was attended by stakeholders in public and private institutions.
