JAMB Exempts Education, Agriculture Candidates from UTME
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced that candidates seeking admission into education and agriculture programs will be exempt from the requirement to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). This decision was disclosed during an ongoing meeting regarding the admission policy for the 2026 academic year.
The exemption is part of a broader initiative aimed at encouraging enrollment in teacher education and agriculture-related disciplines, which are considered critical for national development. This announcement follows the recent approval by the federal government to remove the UTME requirement for admission into colleges of education across Nigeria.
The new policy reflects ongoing efforts to enhance access to education in these vital fields.
