JAMB Eligibility Checker For 2026 Candidates

UTME/DE candidates can use the official JAMB eligibility checker to confirm if they are eligible for the course they chose to study. The eligibility checker works by checking if the Course you want to study is in line with the UTME and O’level subjects that are required by your school of choice.

If your UTME/O’level subjects do not match the one required by your school of choice, you  will not be admitted by your school of choice to study your chosen course. However, the eligibility checker will list out the schools you are qualified to gain admission if there are any.
