Summary of JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) was established in 1978 to facilitate admissions to Nigerian postsecondary institutions, including public and private universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. JAMB administers the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for prospective undergraduates.

In 2013, JAMB switched from a “Paper-based test model” (PBT) to a “Computer-based test model” (CBT) to match worldwide educational standards and reduce examination malpractice. This method, together with the switch to a portal-based system for storing information, boosted potential candidates’ computer literacy.

Without a secure JAMB password, candidates are unable to create a unique individual profile or use relevant JAMB services such as the Central Admission Processing System (CAPS), JAMB notification of admission, and admission letter printing.
