Preparing for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) can be overwhelming.
With thousands of candidates competing in 2026 for limited admission slots into Nigerian universities, polytechnics and colleges of education, smart preparation is no longer optional — it is essential.
Thankfully, several free mobile apps now make studying easier, smarter and more flexible.
From past questions to CBT simulations and performance tracking, here are the best free apps every JAMB candidate should consider using.
