JAMB gives update on extension of registration for UTME, DE 2022

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Thursday, warned that there would be no extension of registration for UTME candidates.

Dr Fabian Benjamin, spokesman for JAMB while giving the warning in a statement in Abuja Thursday, advised
prospective candidates in the ongoing 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) Registration exercises to make sure they complete their registrations before March 26, 2022, adding that there will be no extension of date.

He said the only window allotted by relevant authorities to the Board to conduct the exercise is between 19th February, to 26th March 2022, only.

Dr Fabian informed that it was practically impossible for the Board to contemplate any extension of registration as sister examination bodies such as West African Examination Council (WAEC), National Examination Council (NECO) and National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB), have their allotted dates which the Board could not usurp.

He added that before the commencement of registration or examination for any given year, all public examinations bodies are invited to a roundtable where they are expected to agree on the timetable of activities for each examination agency and which must be strictly adhered to.

”Registration and examination dates are usually not fixed arbitrarily but through a consensus of opinions of the Federal Ministry of Education and examination agencies”, he said.

He said the announcement became necessary because of the drop in the number of candidates coming forward to register in spite of the capacity of the Board to register more daily.

“By this announcement, the Board is urging prospective candidates who desire to register for the 2022/23 UTME/DE to come out to register as they have only two weeks to do so as no extension would be granted after the close of registration.”
