JAMB relaxes age requirement for 2024/2025 Admissions

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has revised its age eligibility criteria for the 2024/2025 academic session

Initially, the minimum age was set at 16 years old by December 31, 2024.

In a letter to vice-chancellors, provosts, and rectors, JAMB allowed institutions to admit candidates turning 16 by August 31, 2025.

This flexibility aims to ensure fairness for students whose admissions would extend beyond December 2024.

Institutions can now consider candidates who meet the standard admission requirements but were previously excluded due to age.

They must submit lists of eligible candidates to JAMB within one week.

This revised policy respects individual institutions’ autonomy while promoting equity among applicants.
