Quick History of JAMB and JAMB Portal

The statutory body that overarchingly regulates admission policies in tertiary education in Nigeria is the Joint admissions and matriculation Board (JAMB). The body came into being via decree No.2 of 1978 and was later amended by Decree No. 33 of 1989 (under military dispensations 8 in Nigeria when the Armed Forces of the country were in government and ruled by decrees). From the Decrees establishing the Board, the functions of JAMB remain basically those of:

• Conducting entrance examinations into higher institutions in Nigeria;
• Placement of suitably qualified candidates in the tertiary institutions after having taken into account:- The vacancies available in each tertiary institution;
• The guidelines approved for each tertiary institution by its proprietor or other competent authority;
• The preference expressed or otherwise indicated by candidates for certain tertiary institutions and courses; and
• Such other matters as the Board may be directed by the Minister of Education to consider, or the Board itself may consider appropriate in the circumstances;
• Collection and dissemination of information on all matters relating to admissions into tertiary institutions or to any other matter relevant to the discharge of the functions of the board, and
• Carrying out of such other activities as are necessary or expedient for the full discharge of all or any of the functions conferred on it

JAMB was founded to address the issues of multiple applications, multiple examinations and multiple admissions into the universities that existed in the country, prior to its founding. It stands to reason that these multiplicities were inchoate and unreasonable and implied monumental financial outlays for the institutions, great financial burden on parents and national waste in its entirety.

JAMB introduced what was only known as UTME in 2009 but the examination was first conducted in 2010. UTME was introduced to replace UME and MPCME and to serve as the common entrance examination into all tertiary educational institutions in Nigeria, to cater for all the institutions with a single examination.
