1.5m candidates register for UTME 2022 as JAMB insists on closing registration March 26

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has registered over 1.5 million candidates for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The Board made this known in its Weekly Bulletin of the office of its Registrar on Monday, in Abuja.

JAMB reiterated its stand to close its 2022 registration exercise on Saturday, March 26, as earlier scheduled.

It said that the sale of e-PINs for its UTME and Direct Entry (DE), which commenced on February 19, and to end on Saturday, March 26, would not attract any extension.

“This emphasis is essential because of the persistent drop in the number of e-PINs being vended, as well as the low turnout of candidates at the various centres across the nation.

“It would be recalled that the board had stated that it would not extend the registration beyond the window allotted to it by relevant authorities to conduct the exercise.

“As discussed earlier, registration dates are not fixed arbitrarily but through a consensus of the Federal Ministry of Education and examination agencies, before the commencement of the exercise.
