The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is the primary examination body responsible for coordinating admissions into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education in Nigeria.
Every year, millions of candidates rely on JAMB to gain entry into higher institutions through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or Direct Entry.
Understanding how JAMB works is the first step toward securing admission in Nigeria.
This JAMB guide explains the full admission process, including who is required to register, how the examination system operates, and how institutions use results during admission screening.
Candidates are expected to meet minimum requirements set by both JAMB and their chosen institutions, making it important to understand the rules governing subject selection, exam scores, and application timelines.
Beyond registration and examination, JAMB also plays a role in regulating admission fairness across institutions. From change of course or institution to admission status checking, JAMB provides centralized services that affect every admission seeker.
This page serves as a comprehensive starting point for all JAMB-related information, with links to detailed guides on registration, results, admission processes, and course requirements.
