What is JAMB
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is in charge of exams for getting into universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education in Nigeria.
What is UTME
UTME stands for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. It’s a standardized test in Nigeria for students who want to go to universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
Think of it as a key that can open the door to higher education in Nigeria. You take the UTME, and if your score is good enough, you can use it to apply to the university or other higher education institution of your choice.
Your score on the UTME helps determine if you get accepted into the school and course you want.
Who takes the UTME?
Students who have completed their secondary school education (equivalent to high school) in Nigeria. This is the most common group of UTME candidates.
Individuals seeking admission to Universities for bachelor’s degrees and other academic programs, individuals seeking admission to Polytechnics for National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programs, which focus on technical and vocational training and individuals seeking admissions to Colleges of Education for programs that train teachers.
In simpler terms, if you’ve finished secondary school in Nigeria and want to study at a higher level in a university, polytechnic, or college of education, you’ll most likely need to take the UTME.
There might be some exceptions or alternative pathways for certain programs or institutions (like direct entry for those with specific qualifications), but the UTME is the main entrance examination for most undergraduate programs in Nigeria.
Remember, this is a helpful guide, but always check the official JAMB website (jamb.gov.ng) for the latest and most accurate details.
