📌 Overview
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially ended the practice of hosting affiliated degree programmes within Colleges of Education and certain Polytechnic institutions. This policy shift is intended to sanitize the admission process and ensure that degree-awarding standards remain uniform across the Nigerian tertiary education landscape. Candidates currently enrolled in such programmes are advised to check with their respective school administrations regarding the transition process.
