What Is the AFIT IJMB Programme?
The AFIT IJMB programme is a one-year academic course that prepares students for the Interim Joint Matriculation Board examination.
Students will receive classroom teaching throughout the academic session, then they will sit for the prescribed IJMB examination. Candidates who earn the required points may use the result for Direct Entry consideration into 200 level.
The programme is an alternative admission route for candidates who meet its O’Level conditions and prefer IJMB to another UTME attempt.
Who Can Apply for AFIT IJMB Admission?
Applications are open to qualified candidates who possess the required O’Level credits and wish to pursue Direct Entry admission through IJMB.
A candidate may apply after meeting the following conditions:
- Five O’Level credit passes must be available.
- English Language must be included.
- Mathematics must be included.
- The other three credits must relate to the proposed career path.
- The applicant must not be serving as Nigerian Air Force personnel.
Admission will be based strictly on merit.
What Are the AFIT IJMB O’Level Requirements?
Each applicant must possess at least five credit passes in relevant O’Level subjects.
The five credits must include English Language and Mathematics, while the remaining three subjects must support the candidate’s intended field of study. Applicants should check their result slips carefully before starting the application because the stated five-credit condition applies at the entry stage.
For example, a candidate should have English Language, Mathematics and three other subjects connected with the proposed academic direction. The notice does not provide the individual combinations for each course.
Can a Candidate Apply Without English or Mathematics?
English Language and Mathematics are compulsory parts of the five required credits.
A candidate whose result does not contain a credit pass in either subject has not met the stated AFIT IJMB entry condition. Both credits should be available before the online form is completed.
How Long Will the AFIT IJMB Programme Last?
The programme will cover one full academic session.
Students will attend classes throughout the session before sitting for the IJMB examination. The academic work will prepare each student for the chosen subject combination and the final assessment.
How Will Admitted Students Be Grouped?
Every admitted student will be placed within one of six study groups, identified as IJMB 1 to IJMB 6.
Placement will depend on the candidate’s O’Level subject combination and proposed career direction. The grouping will allow students with related academic interests to receive the relevant course preparation.
The six groups are:
- IJMB 1
- IJMB 2
- IJMB 3
- IJMB 4
- IJMB 5
- IJMB 6
Applicants will not select a group merely by preference, since placement will reflect the submitted O’Level subjects and the intended area of study.
What Score Is Required After the IJMB Programme?
A candidate must earn at least 10 points in the IJMB examination to qualify for Direct Entry consideration.
The required score is part of the progression condition for admission into 200 level. Candidates should therefore treat the programme as a full academic session that requires steady class attendance and satisfactory examination performance.
A score below 10 points will not meet the stated minimum for Direct Entry qualification under this admission notice.
Does AFIT IJMB Guarantee Admission Into 200 Level?
The programme provides a route to Direct Entry consideration, while the stated minimum result is 10 points.
A candidate must complete the academic session and obtain the required IJMB points before 200-level admission can be considered. Admission is based on merit, so registration for the programme alone does not amount to a degree admission offer.
Can an IJMB Result Be Used Without JAMB UTME?
The provided notice describes IJMB as a Direct Entry route into 200 level and sets a minimum of 10 points for qualification.
Candidates admitted into the programme will focus on the one-year IJMB course and its final examination. The notice does not state that applicants must first meet a UTME cut-off mark before joining the programme.
