Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Board (JUPEB) is a one-year advanced-level program designed to prepare students for direct entry admission into the second year (200 level) of degree programs in Nigerian universities and some foreign institutions.
It serves as an alternative to the traditional Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and is recognized by participating universities. The program equips students with the necessary academic foundation and skills to succeed in their chosen fields of study.
Benefits of JUPEB Programme
Here are the key benefits of the Joint Universities Preliminary Examination Board (JUPEB) program:
1. Direct Entry Admission
Successful JUPEB candidates gain direct entry into the second year (200 level) of their chosen degree programs in participating universities, bypassing the first year.
2. No UTME Requirement
Unlike traditional admission routes, JUPEB does not require candidates to take the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or meet its cutoff marks.
3. Wide University Recognition
JUPEB is accepted by over 20 Nigerian universities (e.g., University of Lagos, University of Ibadan, Obafemi Awolowo University) and some foreign institutions.
4. Quality Preparation for University
JUPEB provides a rigorous academic foundation, ensuring students are well-prepared for the challenges of university education.
5. Improved Admission Chances
JUPEB increases the likelihood of securing admission into competitive courses, as it is less congested than UTME-based admissions.
