JAMB Now Requisite For Open Universities (NOUN), Distance Learning Admission Seekers.

Prospective students aiming to enroll in the Nigerian Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) and other open distance learning centers must now register through the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB).

This directive also extends to all candidates requiring them to provide their unique National Identification Number (NIN) during registration.
According to JAMB, this move aims to curb fraudulent activities and ensure the integrity of candidates’ records.

The Board released an advisory in Abuja, stating its commitment to making the registration process as smooth as possible.

The advisory reads, “As part of measures to checkmate the nefarious activities of fraudulent characters, who are scheming to compromise candidates’ records through dubious registration channels and in compliance with its enabling act, JAMB has mandated that all applicants desirous of studying in Nigerian tertiary institutions must provide their NIN while registering for any programme of study in any tertiary institutions in Nigeria irrespective of whether the mode of study is regular and non-regular.”

Additionally, the advisory highlights that all prospective candidates in non-regular categories, such as NOUN, Distance Learning, Part-time, and Sandwich programmes, must create a profile code before registering with JAMB.
