JAMB Registration Fees 2025/2026

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the official registration fees for the 2025/2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE).

As part of the registration process, candidates must pay N3,500 for the JAMB form.

In addition to this, there are other associated fees:

• N700 for Registration
• N1,500 as Examination Fees
• N1,500 for the Mock UTME (Optional) (if taken at privately-owned centres)

Difference Between JAMB Direct Entry and JAMB UTME

The primary difference between JAMB Direct Entry (DE) and JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) lies in the level of entry and the qualification requirements:

JAMB Direct Entry (DE):

JAMB direct entry is designed for candidates who have already completed higher qualifications such as National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND), Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE), or other equivalent qualifications.

Direct Entry candidates can apply for admission into a university programme’s second or third year, depending on the course and institution’s admission policies.

This route bypasses the first year, enabling qualified candidates to continue their education at an advanced level.

JAMB UTME

The Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is for candidates who have completed their O’level exams (SSCE/NECO/WASSCE).

It is the standard exam for students seeking admission into the first year (100 level) of university programmes.

Candidates must write the UTME and score at least the cut-off mark set by their chosen institution to qualify for admission.

Additional Information

Direct Entry (DE) candidates only need to register but won’t take the UTME.

You can select up to three institutions during registration, but only one can be your first choice, while the others can serve as second and third choices.

Candidates can register for JAMB with awaiting results but must upload their results later for admission consideration.
