Candidates seeking admission into Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes at colleges of education across the country will no longer be required to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The announcement was made on Monday by the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, during the 2026 policy meeting of Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in Abuja.
Under the new admission guidelines, candidates will only need a minimum of four O-level credits in their school certificate examinations to qualify for admission into NCE programmes.
According to the minister, the policy is aimed at reducing the administrative workload on the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
