The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that candidates applying for Education programmes and non-engineering Agriculture courses will no longer be required to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
JAMB made the announcement on Monday via its official X handle during its ongoing 2026 policy meeting on admissions.“Candidates seeking admissions into Education Programmes and Agriculture non-Engineering Courses are now exempted from UTME,” the board stated.
The decision aligns with the Federal Government’s recent policy scrapping the UTME requirement for admission into Colleges of Education.
Candidates seeking the Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) will also no longer need to take the UTME.
This development is expected to ease the admission process for students interested in these critical fields.
