Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a Nigerian entrance examination board for tertiary-level institutions. The board conducts the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for prospective undergraduates into Nigerian universities. The board is also charged with the responsibility to administer similar examinations for applicants to Nigerian monotechnics, polytechnics, and colleges of education. All of these candidates must have obtained the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) conducted yearly by the West African Examinations Council, or its equivalent, NECO, conducted by the National Examination Council.
