Overview

What is JUPEB?

JUPEB (Joint Universities Preliminary Examinations Board) is a 9–10 month A’level programme approved by the Nigerian Federal Government and moderated by the University of Lagos. It helps students pursue direct admission into 200 level at many Nigerian universities — without writing JAMB.

After you complete the programme and pass the final exam, you can apply for Direct Entry into your chosen course and institution.

JUPEB is accepted by over 80 universities in Nigeria, including federal, state, and private institutions.
