JAMB Exempts Education, Agriculture Candidates from UTME
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has declared that candidates applying for education and agriculture programs in Nigeria will be exempt from the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This decision was made during an ongoing policy meeting and will take effect for the 2026 admission cycle.
The board indicated that this exemption applies specifically to candidates seeking admission into education programs and agriculture-related non-engineering courses. This announcement follows the Nigerian government's decision to scrap the UTME requirement for these specific programs, aiming to streamline the admission process for prospective students in these fields.
