Difference Between JAMB & UTME

JAMB stands for the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, which is responsible for handling admissions into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education. JAMB offers both UTME (for students seeking admission into 100 level) and Direct Entry (for those entering directly into 200 level with qualifications like ND, HND, JUPEB, IJMB, etc.).

How to Gain Admission with JAMB-UTME 2025/2026

To improve your chances of admission, it is essential to apply to a school that accepts your JAMB score. Some schools accept lower scores, and JAMB’s CAPS marketplace can even recommend you for admission even if you didn’t choose the school initially.

JAMB Exam Results & Admission

JAMB results are typically released 7 days after the exam and can be checked online or via SMS. Once admitted, you can print your admission letter and check your admission status on both the JAMB CAPS and portal. For university clearance and scholarship applications, you will need to print the Original JAMB Result Slip using a scratch card, as the regular result printout will not suffice.

Conclusion

In summary, JAMB 2025 offers numerous resources to help you prepare for the exam and improve your chances of gaining admission. By staying informed about key dates, understanding the registration process, and using the recommended study materials, you can increase your likelihood of success in both the UTME and admission process.
