JAMB Brochure 2025/26 (For All Faculties/Institutions

JAMB Brochure: The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially published the 2025/2026 JAMB Brochure, which is available in PDF format here.

What is the JAMB Brochure, and Where Can I Get One?

Let’s start with an explanation of what a JAMB Brochure is.

The JAMB Brochure is a package or manual, typically a book in previous years, but currently on DVD Disc or PDF available from the internet. JAMB designed the brochure to enlighten candidates and admission seekers about the requirements for the institutions and courses they intend to pursue.

Before applying for the UTME/DE, a candidate should read through the JAMB Brochure. It contains all that a candidate needs, as well as a list of government-approved institutions. It also shows the courses each school offers and the colleges in which they are taught.

This, of course, will clear up any doubts you may have about whether or not your desired course is offered at that school. And, if it isn’t, which other schools provide it? It does, however, address a wider range of topics. We’ll get to the rest of it later.

You can read the JAMB brochure online or download it to your smartphone or computer via this page.

The JAMB digital brochure is highly user-friendly, allowing candidates to quickly access and print the specific information they require. To access and download the JAMB brochure, simply click/tap on any of the provided links below that correlate to the faculty to which your preferred course belongs.

Note: The JAMB Brochure is available in PDF format. To access the Brochure, your device must have the capability to open PDF files and have a PDF Reader.
