The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified that it is not responsible for Higher National Diploma (HND) admissions or for issues surrounding the mobilisation of some graduates for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, made this known during a meeting with the leadership of the National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) led by Comrade Eshofune Paul Oghayan.
According to a bulletin released on Monday and signed by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, Fabian Benjamin, the Board stated that HND admissions are handled directly by polytechnics, not JAMB.
The clarification comes amid growing complaints from HND graduates who are unable to participate in the NYSC scheme, particularly those who obtained their National Diploma (ND) through part-time or non-regular programmes before proceeding to full-time HND studies.
Many affected graduates have reported facing mobilisation challenges, with the NYSC citing issues related to the mode of admission during their ND programmes.
JAMB stressed that the responsibility for such admissions and records lies with the institutions, urging stakeholders to direct concerns to the appropriate authorities.
