IJMB
The Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination (IJMBE) was established in 1976 by the Interim Common Services Agency (ICSA). ICSA itself was established by the government of the old Northern Region of Nigeria to provide educational and social services to the people of the region. The first Interim Joint Matriculation Board Examination (IJMBE) was held in 1977 for all students who had undergone the IJMBE post-secondary education programme in the existing schools of Basic/ Preliminary studies which had replaced the HSCE. Presently IJMB now serves as an Advanced Level Examination which guarantees students admission into 200 level.
The Board is administered by the Institute of Basic Education of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria. Other members of the board include representatives of various Examination & Educational bodies such as Joint Admission Matriculation Board; Federal University of Technology, Minna, etc.
The programme is open to all interested candidates nationwide and any course can be offered be it Science, Art, or Social Science. The basic requirements are as follows:
