What You Need To Know About JUPEB Programme

JUPEB programme is not for direct entry candidates, its for those who are yet to take Jamb or those who
have already taken Jamb, its after you have done JUPEB programme then you become a direct entry
candidate.

You can also write Jamb as you are doing this programme thereby giving you double chance or opportunity
in seeking or getting admission as a utme candidate and as a direct entry candidate.

JUPEB programme is like a diploma, the difference is that diploma is a 2 year programme while JUPEB is 1 year programme. The way JUPEB
gives grades at the end of the programme is different from the way diploma does.

JUPEB is also same thing with IJMB, the only difference is that some schools like UNN, UNILAG,
etc dont accept IJMB but accept JUPEB.

JUPEB is a new Advanced Level examination body recently established and coordinated by the
University of Lagos. It is similar to the Interim Joint matriculation Board (IJMB) coordinated by
Ahmadu Bello University and recognized by many universities in Northern Nigeria.

JUPEB is, as at now, recognized or accepted by some Federal universities in Southern and Eastern Nigeria such as
University of Lagos (Unilag), University of Ibadan (U.I.),
Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife (OAU),
Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA),
University of Ilorin,
University Of Nigeria,Nsukka (UNN), Federal University of Agriculture,
Abeokuta (FUNAAB),
University of Port Harcourt,
University of Calabar.
You can use the result obtained after Jupeb to enter the above mentioned universities through directry entry.Other universities plan to join soon.

As such, these affiliated institutions have set up programmes to train candidates on the syllabus of the Board in subjects relevant to course
intended to study. For example,
- Physics/Chemistry/Biology for medical courses.
- Physics/Chemistry/Mathematics for engineering courses.
Arts, management sciences and Social Sciences also have their own subjects combinations you will be receiving lectures during the
programme according to the course someone registers during registration which is the course
you will be qualified to enter through direct entry.

The charges for the programme varies from institution to institution. The actual charges for the programme can be obtained at the website of the institution or through an inquiry at the institution.
You can call 08111842546 for UNN.

The certificate for JUPEB is obtained at the end of the programme by the affiliated institutions for their candidates at a reasonable fee.

A mock exam that forms 30% of the total score in each subject is conducted by the institution and
forwarded to the board. The Board’s exams take the remaining 70%.

The results issued by the JUPEB are graded like Cambridge A/Level results: A (5 points), B (4 points), C (3 points), D (2 points), E (1 point), F
(0 point). Three subjects are offered by each candidate.
Combination of the grades forms the
total point that is used as cut-off for the course applied for in a particular institution. For example,
University of Nigeria, Nsukka can say 13 points is the cut-off for someone to use JUPEB and apply
for Medicine and Surgery via direct entry.
That means, they can only admit candidates with either AAA (15 pts), AAB (14 pts), AAC (13 pts) or ABB
(13 pts) via direct entry.
At the end of the programme, you will be given a certificate that bears your qualification according to your points.Like Cambridge A/Level, the results of JUPEB do not expire. You can always use it to apply into
same or another institution that accepts JUPEB the following year and other years.
Candidates with JUPEB results or certificate can apply to JAMB for Direct Entry admission into 200 Level instead of the 100 Level for UTME into any of the institutions that accept JUPEB.

If you do your JUPEB programme in UNN doesnt mean its only UNN that you can use it to enter via direct entry, you can use it to apply for direct entry in any or even all the institutions that accept JUPEB. You
can also do your own Jupeb in Unilag or any other institution that does it and still use it to enter UNN via direct entry.
