The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has commenced registration for candidates seeking admission into Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes at Colleges of Education and Non-Technological Agricultural Programmes offered by polytechnics across the country.
The Board announced that eligible candidates can register at any Institutional Professional Registration Centre (IPRC) located within Colleges of Education or at any JAMB Professional Registration Centre (PRC) nationwide, provided they possess the required O’Level credits.
The development follows the Federal Government’s decision to waive the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) requirement for admission into the two categories of programmes.
According to JAMB’s Acting Director of Public Affairs and Protocol/Public Communications Adviser, Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Board has introduced an alternative admission process aimed at maintaining quality while expanding access to teacher education and agricultural training.
Under the new arrangement, candidates seeking admission into NCE and Non-Technological Agricultural Programmes will no longer be required to sit for the annual UTME. Instead, they are expected to present their O’Level results at a designated IPRC or JAMB PRC to complete the registration process.
JAMB also announced that candidates who had already registered for and sat the 2026 UTME but have decided to pursue NCE or Non-Technological Agricultural Programmes can convert their existing applications at any IPRC or JAMB PRC without paying any additional fee.

Benjamin said the initiative is part of JAMB’s broader efforts to widen access to teacher education and agricultural training while ensuring that admissions into the programmes remain merit-based and are limited to candidates who meet the prescribed entry requirements.
