JAMB stands for Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board. It is the examination body in the country of Nigeria which sets a yearly exam used to qualify entrants to tertiary education - university or college, to most of the Western world. The exam was devised in the mid 70s after it was found that the previous system had major flaws. The previous system for selecting entrants to educational establishments was an entry exam set by the universities - meaning non-standardized tests that differed between institutions. The limitations of this approach were discovered around 1974, and the JAMB exam was set shortly thereafter.
The JAMB exam most recently entered the public eye in 2009, when the year's results were drastically lower than previous year's had been. It was found that the computer system used to automatically grade entrant's papers had graded most of them in error, and some candidates found their grades increased by as much as 15%.
