The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says candidates for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) yet to complete their registration process should visit its special centres to finish it by June 15.
According to NAN, Fabian Benjamin, the board’s head of media, broke the news in a statement on Monday.
Benjamin said only those who could not complete their registration during the stipulated period should visit the said centres.
He added that the designated registration centre for each candidate will be forwarded to them through text messages and also be available on the board’s website from June 14.
“At the end of the period originally scheduled for the 2021/2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registration on May 15, the registration period was extended,” the statement read.
“Another two weeks that elapsed on May 29, was given to accommodate candidates who, largely due to issues related with newly introduced pre-requisite of National Identification Number (NIN), could not register.
“Additional extension of two weeks was made to compile the list of all prospective candidates who for any reason were unable to register.
“The candidates who have not registered but have secured the profile codes and initiated the registration process are expected to visit the specially designated registration centres to complete the registration on Tuesday, June 15.
“Designated registration centre for each candidate is being forwarded to them through the GSM text (SMS) messages and also available on the website of the Board (www.jamb.gov.ng) from 12 noon on Monday, June 14.
“The identification number on each form given to the candidates has been used to assign the candidates to their registration centres.
“Only candidates who have secured their profile codes are expected to visit the centres.
“Also, the names of the few who have not yet obtained their NIN or profile codes have been forwarded to NIMC and would be contacted as soon as they are cleared by NIMC.
“Each candidate posted to any non-JAMB owned CBT centre is expected to pay the registration fee of N1,000 to such CBT centre.”
This year’s UTME is scheduled to commence from June 19 to July 3.

I wonder how a very Big Exam Board like JAMB Would be having a shortfall on Performance and functionality… The other day I met someone who sent his NIN To the provided number but got a message from JAMB Saying “NIN Not Found” and that was almost at the end of the registration exercise in may. Such errors aren’t supposed to be occurring in such a big Organization.
