The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has increased the registration fees for its 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The board disclosed the new rates in a statement shared on Monday.
JAMB said N7,700 will be paid for UTME registration inclusive of a mock examination.
The exam body added that excluding a mock exam, N6,200 is to be paid by candidates seeking to write its UTME for 2024.
Before the recent adjustment, the cost of the JAMB form without a mock exam was N5,700.
The application form inclusive of a mock exam was priced at N6,700.
The board disclosed that the application documents for foreign candidates will now be available at $30.
In the statement, JAMB also announced the registration period for its Direct Entry (DE) programme for the year 2024.
“This is to notify all potential 2024 UTME/DE candidates that the sale of application materials will begin on Monday, January 15, 2024, and that profile creation for registration has officially begun,” JAMB said.
The board said the sale of DE application documents will begin on February 28, 2024, and end on March 28, 2024.
It said the process of creating profile codes for registration is currently in progress.
“Detailed guidelines on how to generate profile codes will be disseminated at a later date, leading up to the initiation of registration on January 15, 2024,” the statement added.
Last month, JAMB announced that registration for its 2024 UTME will be held between January 15 and February 26.
The board said the conduct of the UTME would commence on March 19 and end on April 29.
JAMB also fixed March 7 for the conduct of its optional mock UTME.
The exam body said all candidates are expected to print their examination slips from April 10, 2024.
