JAMB gives update on UTME registration 2022

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Thursday, gave an update on the ongoing registration for 2022 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The body said, so far, over 500,000 candidates have registered for the examination.

JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, made this known while monitoring the registration exercise in Bwari Area Council Abuja, on Thursday.

Oloyede said, “So far so good, we have registered over five hundred candidates. We are expecting about 1.5 million or thereabout. We still have more than twelve days to go. And if things continue to move smoothly, we plan to register 50 thousand per day. Two days ago, it was over seventy thousand per day. We believe today we should be able to register seventy thousand. Yesterday there was a little glitch on the system.

On the quality of CBT test already administered by the board, he said, “which of the biometric centres are they using that is as good as this one you have seen here? And yet we do it at N3,500 yet people are still not complying with simple instruction. You can see that everything is going on well.”
