If your school has given you an admission offer but your JAMB record has not been updated, contact the institution’s admission office and, where necessary, JAMB support.
Can I Print an Admission Letter Without JAMB Admission?
Generally, the admission letter printing service is intended for candidates whose admission has been processed through JAMB.
JAMB has emphasized that an admission offered outside its system is not recognised as a valid JAMB admission.
If you have only received information from your school but cannot find the corresponding JAMB admission record, verify your admission status through your JAMB profile before assuming that the JAMB admission letter is ready.
Why Is My Admission Letter Important?
Your admission letter can be required during various stages of your academic journey, including:
- School clearance
- Registration
- Admission verification
- Matriculation documentation
- Student records
- NYSC-related documentation
JAMB’s matriculation-list service specifically instructs candidates to print their admission letter and result slip and have the documents verified with their institution’s admission officer.
