Getting admitted to a university, polytechnic, or college of education in Nigeria is a big achievement! 🎉 But once you’ve secured your admission, the next important step is printing your JAMB admission letter. This document is essential for school registration, NYSC mobilization, and even future job applications.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know about printing your JAMB admission letter for the 2025/2026 session — step by step!
What is a JAMB Admission Letter?
The JAMB admission letter is an official document issued by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) that confirms you have been offered admission into a Nigerian tertiary institution. It includes details like:
- Your full name
- Course of study
- Institution name
- Admission status
- JAMB registration number
Without this letter, your admission might not be fully valid, and your school may not allow you to complete your registration.
Why Do You Need the JAMB Admission Letter?
You’ll need your JAMB admission letter for:
- School registration and clearance
- NYSC mobilization (after graduation)
- Scholarship and bursary applications
- Job applications (in some cases)
- Future transfers or postgraduate applications
It’s a critical document, so it’s best to get it printed as soon as your admission is confirmed!
