The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has cautioned parents against making baseless claims about universities unfairly denying their children admission.
JAMB issued the advisory on Sunday, through a statement by the board’s Public Communication Advisor, Dr Fabian Benjamin, clarifying that some recent complaints—including one involving the University of Calabar—were unfounded, as the candidates in question failed to meet admission criteria.
In another case, a father accused the University of Jos of rejecting his son, who scored 345 in UTME. However, JAMB’s investigation revealed that the candidate ranked 86th, while only 68 candidates could be admitted on merit.
JAMB reiterated its commitment to fair and transparent admissions and warned against abuse of its “exceptionally brilliant” admission window for candidates under 16.
