The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has successfully conducted the foreign component of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) in eight foreign countries.
The Board announced this development in its weekly bulletin on Monday, July 15, 2024.
The examination held on Saturday, July 14, 2024 was designed for foreign candidates seeking admission to foreign tertiary institutions.
The UTME was conducted in the following cities:
-London, United Kingdom
– Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
– Buea, Cameroon
– Accra, Ghana
– Cotonou, Benin Republic
– Johannesburg, South Africa
– Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire
– Banjul, The Gambia
By conducting the examination in
these foreign locations, JAMB aims to
showcase Nigerian tertiary
institutions to a global audience,
placing them on par with their
international counterparts. This
initiative has successfully attracted
international students to Nigerian
universities.
Furthermore, JAMB has incorporated the number of foreign students admitted by an institution as a criterion for the NATAP M-Award, recognising institutions that excel in international student recruitment.
