To apply for JAMB condone of illegal admission as a part-time graduate, log into your profile on the JAMB e-Facility portal, select Condonement of Undocumented Admission, pay the processing fee, and submit an endorsed indemnity form.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board established the condonement service (formerly known as Regularization) to validate and integrate candidates admitted into non-regular tertiary programmes into the national matriculation register.
Graduates of part-time, sandwich, and distance learning programmes cannot receive an NYSC Exemption Certificate or proceed to postgraduate studies in Nigeria without an official JAMB Admission Letter generated through condonement.
Before initiating your condonement application on the portal, ensure you have these essential credentials and tools available:
- Your functional JAMB e-Facility profile login details (registered candidate email address and account password).
- Your official institutional matriculation number assigned to you during your part-time or distance learning studies.
- A clear digital scan of your original National Diploma, Higher National Diploma, or University Degree Statement of Result.
- Your secondary school O-Level certificates (WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB) displaying your baseline entry credits.
- An active ATM debit card to pay the prescribed ten thousand Naira statutory regularization fee via Remita.
Follow these sequential administrative steps to regularize your undocumented admission:
- Launch your web browser and navigate directly to the official JAMB e-Facility login portal.
- Log into your candidate profile using your registered email address and account password.
- From the left-hand navigation sidebar, locate and click on Condonement of Undocumented / Illegitimate Admission.
- Select your initial year of admission from the dropdown menu and enter your official student matriculation number.
- Select your tertiary institution and choose your specific degree programme from the approved list of courses.
- Generate your 12-digit Remita Retrieval Reference (RRR) invoice and complete the payment transaction using your debit card.
- Fill out your comprehensive biographical details, secondary education history, and earned tertiary graduation grades.
- Submit the online form and immediately download and print the multi-page JAMB Indemnity Form generated by the portal.
- Take the printed indemnity form to your tertiary institution’s Registrar for physical signature, official matriculation seal, and Senate endorsement.
- The institution transmits the endorsed indemnity package directly to the JAMB Zonal Office or National Headquarters in Abuja.
- Once approved by the JAMB Registrar, log into your dashboard to download and print your official JAMB Admission Letter.

Thank you for breaking this down so clearly. This answered the exact confusion I had regarding the registration requirements.
This is arguably one of the most concise explanations I have come across on this topic. God bless you for sharing.
Extremely helpful post. My younger sibling was facing this exact dilemma last week. I will share this link with him right away.
Please what is the recommended procedure if the school portal is not reflecting the payment receipt after completing the bank branch remita transfer?
Great inquiry. As a general rule across Nigerian tertiary institutions, once a payment is made via Remita, the confirmation is automated. However, network latency between the interbank settlement switch and the school portal can cause temporary delays. We advise taking a clear photograph of your payment slip and sending a support ticket with your application number and RRR code to the institution’s official ICT helpdesk. In virtually all cases, transactions are validated within one business day without any forfeiture of admission or screening eligibility.
Thank you author for this timely post. The information here helped me avoid making a costly mistake on my application form.
A very comprehensive review. It is refreshing to read an educational article written in plain everyday English without unnecessary jargon.
Thank you for shedding light on this issue. Our school counselor never explained the difference between the aggregate score and the raw UTME mark like this.
This guide covers all the critical angles. Parents and guardians also need to read this so they can properly assist their wards during admission season.
Please I need a quick clarification: can an applicant who has already uploaded their O-level result make changes if there was an omission of a required subject?
Thank you for contacting EduTalks. Regarding subject combination discrepancies: if your chosen UTME subject combination does not align strictly with the National Universities Commission (NUC) and JAMB brochure requirements for that faculty, you must immediately apply for a Change of Course on the JAMB portal to an aligned discipline. Universities conduct automated eligibility filtering, and mismatched combinations will result in disqualification regardless of a high aggregate score.
Insightful analysis. Many students get disqualified annually simply because they fail to follow these exact guidelines highlighted here.
