Eligibility Criteria for UTME Registration

As a Nigerian student hoping to enter universities, polytechnics, or colleges of education, registering for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) is the first and most important step. This exam is conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), and it serves as the official pathway into tertiary education. It is very important to understand what’s required for a smooth registration process. In this guide, we will walk you through the essential documents and steps you need to get started.

1. National Identification Number (NIN)

Unlike in the past, the National Identification Number (NIN) is now a mandatory requirement for registering for JAMB. This unique 11-digit number serves as proof of your identity and Nigerian citizenship, helping to reduce cases of impersonation and exam malpractice. If you are yet to enroll, you will need to visit an official NIMC enrolment centre to register. Ensure that you go along with valid documents like your birth certificate or school ID. It is also important to register early, as the process can sometimes take a few days.

2. O’level Results

Your O’Level results are another essential requirement for JAMB registration. You must have at least five (5) credit passes, including English Language. If you are aiming for science or social science courses, a credit in Mathematics is also required. Accepted O’Level qualifications include WAEC, NECO, or any other equivalent certification. If you have not received your results yet, you can still register using the “awaiting result” option. Just ensure that your results are available before the exam date. You can also combine results from different sittings (like WAEC and NECO) if necessary, but make sure you meet the required number of credit passes in the relevant subjects.

3. Programme Eligibility

Before you start your registration, it is important to ensure you meet the requirements for the course you intend to study. The JAMB brochure is a key resource that outlines the subject combinations, qualifications, and specific requirements for each programme. It is crucial to choose the right course based on your strengths and interests, as well as the right subject combination, to avoid any confusion down the line.

4. JAMB ePIN

To register, you will need to purchase a JAMB ePIN. This is a unique code that allows you to access the registration portal. You can buy your ePIN from approved outlets such as banks, online payment platforms, and accredited CBT centres. Keep in mind that each ePIN can only be used once, so make sure you keep it safe after purchase.

5. Recommended Novel

Every year, JAMB selects a novel that all UTME candidates are required to read. For 2025, the recommended book is Lekki Headmaster. It costs N500 and is available at JAMB-approved CBT centres across the country. Reading this novel is essential, as questions from it will appear in the Use of English paper during the exam.
