JICORAS Admission 2024/2025: IJMB and ND Programs Now Open in Jigawa State

Students looking for alternative pathways to university education in Jigawa State now have a new opportunity. The Jigawa State College of Remedial and Advanced Studies (JICORAS) in Babura has opened applications for its 2024/2025 academic session, offering both Interim Joint Matriculation Board (IJMB) and National Diploma (ND) programs.

Available Programs

JICORAS provides two main academic pathways for prospective students:

IJMB Programs (Direct university entry pathway):

• Science
• Arts
• Management

The IJMB program is particularly valuable for students who want an alternative route to university admission. Successfully completing IJMB with good grades qualifies you for direct entry into 200-level at most Nigerian universities, bypassing JAMB UTME entirely for your final university admission.

National Diploma Programs:

• Public Administration
• Accounting
• Business Administration
• Social Development
• Epidemiology and Disease Control
• Environmental Health Technology
• Public Health Technology
• Library and Information Science
• Computer Science
• Crime Management

Who Can Apply?

To qualify for admission to JICORAS, you must meet these basic requirements:

1. O-Level Results: You need at least five credits including English Language and Mathematics in your WAEC, NECO, or NABTEB results. These credits can be from one or two sittings.
2. JAMB Score: You must have scored at least 100 points in the 2024 UTME.
3. Institution Choice: You should have selected JICORAS as your first choice during JAMB registration.

If you didn't choose JICORAS initially, don't worry. You can visit any JAMB office or CBT center to obtain a change of institution form (green card) and switch your choice to JICORAS.

How to Apply

The application process is straightforward:

1. First, ensure your O-Level results are uploaded on the JAMB portal (this is mandatory for all admissions in Nigeria).
2. Visit the official JICORAS website at www.jicoras.edu.ng
3. Create your profile on the admissions portal
4. Submit photocopies of your credentials to the Admissions Officer

For applicants who need to prepare for the IJMB entrance requirements or want to practice relevant questions, you can use Ulearngo's practice platform to strengthen your foundation in key subjects.

Why Consider JICORAS?

Located in Babura, Jigawa State, JICORAS offers an affordable pathway to higher education. The IJMB program is especially attractive because it can save you a year compared to the traditional university route, as you enter directly into 200-level upon successful completion.

For students who scored above 100 but below 180 in JAMB, JICORAS provides a realistic admission opportunity that might not be available at more competitive federal universities.
