For all the candidates that participated in the Joint Admission Matriculation Board's Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (JAMB's UTME) and the ones that'll still partake in it, it's very important that your name is listed on the Exam Body's Matriculation List. Only candidates whose names appear on the list are legitimate students.
If your name is not on the JAMB's Matriculation List, one major consequence is that your application for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme may be declined/rejected. The NYSC requires that your academic records be verified by JAMB.
Being on the matriculation list confirms that your admission into accredited Nigerian institutions is recognized by JAMB. To avoid any issues with your NYSC registration and other potential fallbacks, it's important to check the JAMB matriculation list and make sure your name is listed.
Checking Your Name on JAMB's Matriculation List
Follow the guide below to confirm your status and make sure your name appears on the list:
- Login to JAMB or Click on the Matriculation Link.
- Input your JAMB's REG NO and select your year of Examination e.g 2024.
Once you've confirmed the year you sit for the UTME, the system will display whether your name is on the list. If it is listed, you'll see congratulations and follows by your name.
However, if your name is not on the list, you can rectify the issue by doing this:
1. First of all, check the JAMB CAPS to confirm that you have been offered admission by a university and that you have accepted it successfully. After confirming this, log in to the JAMB e-Facility portal to print your admission letter, which is crucial for verifying your admission.
2. Secondly, print your JAMB result slip from the same portal, as it shows your JAMB's scores. Once you have both documents, present them to your institution's admission officer for verification and confirmation of your admission status.
Once all that's done, your school will do the needful by contacting JAMB and rectify the issues. Although, it may take up to a month; always check the list regularly to conform your name has been listed. However, keep seeking support from your institution until your name is listed.
