JAMB Regularization Portal — How to Do it Yourself

This post is about the JAMB Regularization Portal. So I’m going to inform you about what JAMB regularization is all about and the reasons why Nigerian students may need to go through the process. I will also show you how to do the regularization by yourself in case you need to do it. Of course, it requires filling of form which shall go through approval process leading to the issuance of registration number.

What is JAMB Regularization?

JAMB regularization is the process by which candidates with issues of late registration or illegitimate admission are given JAMB registration number.

JAMB is the only body saddled with the responsibility of giving admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. However, some tertiary institutions may internally organize programs at the end of which qualified participants may gain admission into the same institution. Such students are usually without JAMB registration number. JAMB, therefore, considers their admission as illegitimate. And even when they eventually apply to JAMB, the board considers the application as late.

So the candidates in this situation would pay for late application and also for condonement of illegitimate admission (without reg. number). Thereafter, they would follow the necessary process to regularize their admission and obtain a JAMB registration number.

So who exactly is JAMB regularization for?

JAMB Regularization is essentially for Part-Time, Sandwich and Distance Learning Students. Part-time, sandwich and distance learning are programs that most tertiary institutions organize to cater for candidates with various peculiar needs.

But JAMB is the only body responsible, by law, for offering admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions i.e. Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education and so on. In their effort to effectively carry out this responsibility and to have accurate data of undergraduate students in all the Nigerian Universities and other tertiary institutions, JAMB has integrated the admission process of candidates of Part-Time, Sandwich and Distance Learning Degree Programmes into their CAPS—Central Admissions Processing System.

So students currently doing Part-Time, Sandwich or Distance Learning Degree Programmes are to visit the JAMB e-facility platform immediately and regularize their admission by applying to register their documents individually.

The Dean of School of Continuing Education or Part-Time Studies of your Institution must sign and endorse your form upon completion for onward submission to JAMB office.

After approval of the indemnity Form by JAMB, you can then visit the JAMB e-facility portal to print your Admission Letter and obtain your REG number.

However, prospective Part-Time Candidates who wish to enroll in any of the Part-Time or Sandwich programs in any Nigerian Tertiary Institution MUST first enroll with JAMB by purchasing the JAMB Part-Time / Sandwich / Distance Learning Form at the cost of N3,500 before proceeding to purchase the respective institution’s part-time forms.

The JAMB Regularization Portal

JAMB regularization portal is the platform on the board’s official website where candidates can pay for late application and also for condonement of illegitimate admission; and follow the necessary process to regularize their admission to obtain a JAMB registration number.

This requires the filling of form which shall go through approval process. JAMB would issue the candidate a registration number upon approval of the application for regularization.

What is the Cost of JAMB Regularization?

As at the time of publishing this article, the total cost of JAMB regularization is ₦8,500. The breakdown of this cost is as follows:
– Late Application: ₦3,500
– Condonement of Illegitimate Admission: ₦5,000

Of course, you must bear in mind that the above cost is apart from the service charge you would incur at the CBT center. So try to include service charge in your budget.
