Discussion: S1 was unable to make a guess at this, so she transcribed it as 'unclear'.

It is indeed spoken very fast, and we would not be able to decipher it without the help of S3. In fact, 'Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board' seems to be an established phrase in Nigeria (see Wikipedia:JAMB), so people who are familiar with the culture would have no problem with it, even when it is spoken so fast.
