This list contains the names of students who have been officially admitted into tertiary institutions across Nigeria and whose admissions have been verified and confirmed by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Being on the JAMB Matriculation List is very important. It serves as an official proof that a student’s admission is valid and recognised by both JAMB and the institution. Without being on this list, students may not be eligible for important benefits such as NYSC (National Youth Service Corps) mobilization, scholarship opportunities, and other official academic recognitions.
Students are therefore advised to check that their names appear on the Matriculation List to avoid any future issues related to their admission status.
Importance of JAMB Matriculation List 2025
1. Admission Confirmation
The JAMB Matriculation List confirms that a student’s admission into a tertiary institution has been properly processed and officially approved by JAMB. Being on this list means your admission is valid and recognized by both JAMB and your school. This is important because students whose names are not on the list may face issues in the future, such as being ineligible for scholarships, or other official academic activities. It is a key step in making sure your admission is fully accepted and documented.
2. Eligibility for NYSC
Being on the JAMB Matriculation List is one of the key requirements for participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program (a mandatory one-year service for all Nigerian graduates). If your name is not on the list, you may not be cleared for NYSC mobilization, regardless of whether you have completed your studies. This could delay your service year or affect your chances of employment where NYSC certification is required. Ensuring your name is on the list early helps you avoid unnecessary stress after graduation.
3. Recognition by Institutions
Tertiary institutions, such as universities, polytechnics, and colleges rely on the JAMB Matriculation List to confirm that the students admitted into their programs are officially recognised by JAMB. This ensures that all admissions are legitimate and helps the school maintain a transparent and credible admission process. If a student is not on the list, the institution may not be able to fully process their academic records, issue certificates, or include them in official activities like convocation or NYSC mobilization.

What to do if You Did Not Find Your Name
1. For Students Who Got Admission Through JAMB:
If you were admitted through JAMB but your name is not showing on the list, it is likely because your records are not complete. Here is what you should do:
• Log in to the JAMB e-Facility Portal
• Print your JAMB Admission Letter and Result Slip
• Wait a few hours, your name should appear on the Matriculation List shortly after your documents are updated.
2. For Students Who Did Not Get Admission Through JAMB:
If you gained admission through other means (e.g. direct entry by the school without JAMB involvement), you will need to complete the JAMB Regularization process. This process helps align your admission record with JAMB and ensures your name can be added to the Matriculation List.
You can start the regularization process by visiting the JAMB office or a JAMB-accredited CBT center. Your school will also guide you on how to go about it.
Important: Make sure you submit copies of your JAMB Admission Letter and Result Slip to your school, especially if you did not do so during your screening or registration. Your institution needs these to confirm your admission with JAMB.
