What You Do Not Know About IJMB

Interim Joint Matriculation Board (I.J.M.B) is a programme moderated by
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria. It is a programme that enables students
gain direct admission into 200level without Joint Admission Matriculation
Board (J.A.M.B) examination. It’ll not be wrong to say I.J.M.B was designed
to ameliorate problems of admission for candidates seeking admission into
Nigeria University instead of JAMB. The examination was formerly conducted
in May in designated Polytechnics and colleges Of Education, while the
results was released by August. But guess what? Things have gone better.
The examination for IJMB is now February every year. One of the major
reasons its better this way is because candidate do not need to be scared
of direct entry form closing soon. Another reason is that the result comes
earlier than usual. This will enable student know their points on time and
therefore choose universities and courses that will guarantee them
admission prior to July when various schools will begin POST U.T.M.E i.e.
between April and June, students are to purchase a direct entry form from
JAMB office and apply to any school of their choice. When admission begins
in September and October, they are then short listed for admission into
their chosen institution. The number of subjects a student can enter for is
(3)in respect to their chosen profession. Mean While, candidates with
deficiency in O’level English Language and Mathematics can also remedy
these subjects by registering for the O’level.
