What is JAMB?

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Boards (JAMB) is a Nigerian examination body responsible for conducting the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for candidates seeking admission into Nigerian universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education.

What is Tag Joint Admission?

Tag Joint Admission is a system introduced by JAMB to enable candidates to apply for admission into multiple institutions simultaneously. This system allows candidates to apply for admission into multiple institutions using a single application form and Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration number.

How does Tag Joint Admission work?

Here's how it works:

  1. Candidates register for the UTME and choose up to six institutions as their preferred choices.
  2. During the registration process, candidates can opt-in to the Tag Joint Admission system.
  3. Once opted-in, the candidate's UTME registration number is linked to the Tag Joint Admission system.
  4. The candidate can then apply for admission into multiple institutions using their UTME registration number and the Tag Joint Admission system.
  5. The institutions will receive the candidate's application and UTME results, and will conduct their own admission processes.
  6. If a candidate is offered admission by multiple institutions, they will receive an offer letter from each institution.

The Tag Joint Admission system has several benefits, including:

  1. Convenience: Candidates can apply for admission into multiple institutions using a single application form and UTME registration number.
