JAMB maintained that failure by the concerned students to regularise within the stipulated timeline will disqualify them from participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). ND students who did not regularise will also be prohibited from applying for direct entry (DE) — a route that can get them admission to 200 level in the university.

What is JAMB regularisation?
JAMB regularisation is the process of ensuring that the JAMB board validates candidates’ current admission details with the school that offered admission to such candidates in their database. The aim is to either grant one gateway for securing admission or grant an admission letter/registration number.
The JAMB regularisation procedure is designed to regulate ND/NID/OND, HND, and NCE types of admission to the university and clear up the JAMB status of a prospective student.
