The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has debunked claims that it is involved in the admission process for higher national diploma (HND) students.

A statement signed by the Spokesman of the board, Fabian Benjamin, said the board has no involvement, authority, or control over the admissions process for HND candidates.

The statement added that JAMB is also not responsible for other higher institutions’ programmes besides their regular admissions.

The board further added that candidates’ HND admissions are unknown and irrelevant to the mandate of JAMB.

Some HND students had earlier accused the board of being responsible for their inability to go for their National Youth Service scheme (NYSC).

The students were said to have claimed they were not mobilised for service because they did a part-time programme for their national diploma (ND).
