IJMB is a programme designed to help you get admission into the University without writing JAMB and Post UTME, directly into 200Level.
IJMB is the better option for you to gain admission into the University without JAMB.
Read along as we will be throwing more light on this.
Many parents and students are not aware of this programme. You can check your JAMB brochure page 2 to confirm this. Many Nigerian students believe they can only gain University admission through JAMB and that’s because majority of them don’t read the Jamb Brochure (DISK) given to them after the registration.
Do yourself good by reading the information we are about to share with you before registering for IJMB.

Meaning of IJMB
IJMB means Interim Joint Matriculation Board. It is an advanced level (A’level) nine(9) month Federal Government approved programme, run and moderated by Ahmadu Bello University, ABU Zaria and certified by National University Commission (NUC) which was setup to serve as an alternative mode of gaining admission into tertiary institution in Nigeria into 200Level via Direct Entry (D.E) to study any course in the University of your choice
7 Set of Students Who Can Register for IJMB
- Students seeking admission into any university
- Student who failed JAMB
- Students who did not sit for JAMB
- Students who just graduated from SSS-3
- Students awaiting O’level results.
- Students wishing to switch course or university.
- Students with lower credit in ND (National Diploma) but wants to obtain a degree
10 Reasons Why IJMB is the Best:
- You can apply with awaiting result
- JAMB / Remedial / Predegree gives you admission into 100L while IJMB is to 200Level.
- IJMB Result is valid upto 7years. Thus, a candidate can use the result for many years like WAEC result, but JAMB, Remedial, Predegree result is useful for one year only.
- To run IJMB is relatively cheap compared to what is obtainable in other programme that guarantee 200Level admission into Nigerian universities.
- You can get admission into any University of your choice
- The programme is available for all courses
- You don’t have to write JAMB / UTME except you wish to do so
- You have more advantages of being admitted unlike those who used JAMB since students with A’Level Result (IJMB Result) are very fewer in ratio.
- Short Course Duration
- The result is acceptable in all Universities (Federal, State and Private)
Duration of IJMB Programme
The IJMB programmme runs for 9 months after which you will be offered admission into 200Level into any University in Nigeria (your choice). Are you now seeing that it saves you the stress of JAMB and the expenses you will be making during JAMB and Post UTME.
Requirements for IJMB Registration
This is the best part of it. The only document you need to apply for IJMB is just your WAEC, NECO or GCE result with Six Passport Photographs and nothing else. I guess this will make your life a whole lot easier. Students with awaiting result can also apply. THERE IS NO ENTRANCE EXAM.
How IJMB Works
After completing the registration, registered candidates will choose any three (3) O-level subjects which is mostly related to his or her course of study in either Sciences, Arts or Social Sciences.
For Example; A Candidates aspiring for Medicine and Surgery will be required to select Biology, Chemistry and Physics, while Engineering is Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics.
Candidates will then be lectured on these 3 selected subjects for a time period of nine(9) months and thereafter sit for the final examination. On successful completion of the programme, A certificate will be issued to all candidates which will then be used (IJMB Certificate) to secure admission into 200level into any Nigerian University by means of Direct Entry.
Note that you’re not going to be writing any other screening examination aside the IJMB exam. You will be learning and writing only 3 subjects for the exam, not like WAEC that you will be writing 9 subjects, that’s why IJMB Registration is a saver bet.
