The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is a Nigerian entrance examination board for tertiary-level institutions. The board administers the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for prospective undergraduates seeking admission into Nigerian universities.

Every year, over 1.5 million Nigerian students sit for the examination across the country. It has undergone various changes over time, transitioning from Paper-Pencil Tests (PPT) to Computer-based Tests (CBT).

Whether you’re aiming to join a university, polytechnic, college of education, or other institution in Nigeria, your JAMB UTME result is an essential part of the application process. JAMB makes checking your results easy via both online and SMS methods.
