JAMB Bows to Pressure, Allows 16-Year-Old Students For 2024/2025 Admissions | Daily Report Nigeria

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that tertiary institutions in Nigeria can now admit students who will turn 16 years old by August 31, 2025, for the 2024/2025 academic session.

This new ruling allows institutions to enroll qualified candidates who meet all other admission criteria, regardless of their age at the time of application.

The decision was made to ensure fairness, particularly as some institutions are expected to conclude their 2024/2025 admissions as late as July 2025.

The previous age cut-off was set for December 31, 2024, but has now been extended for candidates who will meet the 16-year age requirement by the new August deadline.

Part of the circular read, “Recall that the issue of the minimum age for admission in the nation’s tertiary institutions was deliberated and decided at the 2024 Policy Meeting to be 16 years old for the 2024/25 academic session.

Subsequently, the cut-off date was put on the 31st of December 2024. The Board has taken cognizance that, due to different reasons, some institutions expect the 2024/2025 admission to run through July 2025.

The Board emphasized that this new development is without prejudice to the decision of any institution that might have on its own decided on the minimum age of not less than 16 years, which remains sacrosanct.
