The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will begin screening for over 500 exceptional candidates below 16 years of age seeking admission into tertiary institutions for the 2025/2026 academic session between September 22 and 26.
The policy aligns with the Ministry of Education’s directive setting 16 as the minimum entry age for tertiary institutions.
Speaking during the meeting, Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, said three venues have been selected for the screening: Lagos, Abuja, and Owerri.
