The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board JAMB says the
ongoing 2022 UTME/DE
Registration Exercise scheduled to end on 26th March, 2022 would not be extended.
A signed statement by Dr Fabian Benjamin,Head, Public Relations Unit indicates that the time scheduled for the registration exercise from 19th February, to 26th March, 2022, is the only window allotted by relevant authorities to the Board to conduct the exercise.
The statement reads: It should be noted that registration and examination dates are not fixed arbitrarily but through a consensus of opinions of the Federal Ministry of Education and examination agencies. Hence, 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.
According to him, the information is necessary inview of the drop in the number of candidates coming forward to register in spite of the capacity of the Board to register more daily.
The Board further urged prospective candidates who desire to register for the 2022/23 UTME/DE to register as they have only two weeks to do so as no extension would be granted after the close of registration.
Benjamin warned that JAMB would not contemplate any extension of registration as sister examination bodies such as WAEC NECO and NABTEB, have their allotted time which cannot be usurped.
