The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has delayed the registration process for prospective candidates wishing to write the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or obtain Direct Entry (DE) application forms
Edu-Biznews recalled that the registration excercise ought to have started from last Thursday,April 8 and end on May 15, 2021,
But the excercise experienced some hitches, as candidates were unavailable to download the application forms online
The board, which announced the guidelines for this year’s UTME last March 24, made the use of the National Identity Number (NIN) compulsory for the examination.
JAMB’s Head of Media and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement explained that the board decided to delay the registration, to ensure a seamless process for candidates downloading the App for the 2021 UTME/DE
The board says it is finalising work on its pin vending process before the take-off of the exercise.
JAMB enjoined prospective candidates to follow up on advertisements for the 2021 registration for proper understanding of the steps involved and the actual date of the exercise.
The statement reads further in parts:
“To be sure all processes are completed before the commencement, the board did not place its advertorial as it was yet to complete the process of a smooth pin vending and candidate access to the registration App for the 2021 UTME/DE".
“This delay is caused by some unforeseen circumstances occasioned by our determined effort to have a NIN integration_
"This challenge is being resolved and once that is done, all processes shall commence,” JAMB assured candidates .
