JAMB Reforms: Scrapping of Affiliated Degree Programmes
"A major shift in admission policy affecting Colleges of Education and Polytechnics."
The End of Affiliated Degree Programmes: JAMB's New Directive
> ✅ VERIFIED REPORT: Cross-referenced as of September 11, 2026.
📌 Overview
In a move to sanitize the admission process, JAMB has officially scrapped affiliated degree programmes. This policy directly impacts students who were previously looking toward Colleges of Education and Polytechnics to obtain university degrees under affiliation schemes. JAMB is now centralizing degree-awarding powers back to parent universities.
