The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has commenced registration for candidates seeking admission into Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes in Colleges of Education and non-technological National Diploma (ND) programmes in agriculture-related courses without requiring them to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
In a statement issued on Thursday, JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin said the registration exercise is open to eligible candidates who possess the required O’Level credits.
He explained that applicants can register at any Institutional Professional Registration Centre (IPRC) located in Colleges of Education or any JAMB Professional Registration Centre (PRC) across the country.
Benjamin noted that the registration follows the Federal Government’s approval exempting candidates seeking admission into NCE and non-technological agricultural programmes from writing the UTME.
According to him, JAMB has established an admission process to ensure that only qualified candidates gain admission while maintaining the quality and integrity of the programmes.
“Under this policy, eligible candidates only need to visit any designated IPRC or JAMB PRC with their O’Level credentials to complete their registration. There is no requirement to sit for the annual UTME,” Benjamin stated.
He encouraged all qualified candidates to take advantage of the opportunity by registering at the designated centres nationwide.
