JAMB Introduces Official Eligibility Checker for 2025 UTME Candidates


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has launched an innovative Eligibility Checker to assist prospective candidates in determining their qualifications for their desired courses and institutions before applying for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This tool is designed to streamline the application process and ensure that candidates make informed choices when selecting their preferred institutions and programs of study.
Understanding the JAMB Eligibility Checker
Every year, thousands of candidates apply for admission into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, and other tertiary institutions through JAMB. However, many applicants unknowingly select courses or institutions for which they do not meet the necessary requirements. This often results in disqualification, delays, or the need to change courses during admission screening exercises.
To address this challenge, JAMB has introduced the Eligibility Checker Portal to help candidates verify their qualifications before completing their UTME registration. By using this tool, applicants can confirm whether they meet the specific entry requirements set by different institutions and programs.
Candidates can check their eligibility status by visiting the official JAMB eligibility checker portal at https://eligibility.jamb.gov.ng/checker/.
