JAMB conducts the UTME 2024 for prospective undergraduates into Nigerian universities.
The board is also charged with the responsibility to administer similar examinations for applicants to Nigerian public and private monotechnics, polytechnics, and colleges of education.
JAMB's UTME is only valid for a year with a score range of 0–400.
The subject combination varies based on a candidate's desired course of study, although English language is compulsory for all candidates.
After the conduct of the year's examination, the board sits and deliberates on the cut-off mark for tertiary institutions, often universities have the highest cut-off mark, while other institutions require lower marks.
