    The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed candidates scheduled to take examinations in the 24 delisted centres to print their notification slips for new dates and time of examinations.

    The board delisted 24 Computer Based Centres (CBT) across the country over their poor performance at the commencement of the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

    “Candidates scheduled to take examination in delisted centres can proceed to print their examination notification slips from June 2020 for their new schedule dates and time.

    “This applies only to centres delisted.

    “You will recall that 24 centres were delisted for performing below the tolerable limit of the board, while over 40 others were put on the watch list,” the statement quoted Benjamin as saying.

    2021 UTME: JAMB delists 25 CBT centres for poor performance

    The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has delisted 25 Computer-Based Exam Centres (CBT) across the country for poor performance at the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) held nationwide on Saturday, June 19.

  • Candidates optimistic as JAMB commences 2021 UTME nationwide

    Candidates optimistic as JAMB commences 2021 UTME nationwide

    Some candidates of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) have expressed optimism in the conduct and outcome of the 2021 exercise.

    The candidates spoke in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Abuja, in the 2021 examination scheduled by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).

    NAN recalled that JAMB had earlier scheduled the examination to commence from June 19 to July 3 in its over 700 accredited Computer Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide.

    Dinatu Abraham, a candidate at the JAMB CBT centre in Kogo, Bwari said she did her best since she had acquired all necessary knowledge on especially, the use of computer.

    She said she was sitting for the examinations for the first time and had challenges while using the system during the recently conducted mock exercise.

    She, however, said she was fully prepared for the main examination, which she hoped would yield a positive result.

    Abraham, also described the conduct of the exercise at the centre as well organised and commended the board for the effort put in to ensure a smooth process.

    ” Everyone is treated by the officials without any preference but with strict adherence to the rules and regulations as stated before the exercise.

    ” We were searched and scrutinised to make sure no one is carrying any of the banned items and so far, I did not hear of complaints, about the computers being non functional.

    “I, for one, am sure to score high because I believe the questions were be favourable.”

    Adejoh Godwin, another candidate, who sat for the exams at the same centre said he believed the efforts he put in preparing for the examination would give him a positive result.

    According to him, the process is smoothly conducted by officials at the centre and while he hoped that the results would favour him, he also prayed to gain admission with the outcome.

    Similarly, Sim Moses, another candidate told NAN that she was satisfied with the questions as they were not exactly what she expected but what she prepared for before the examination.

    ”The questions were from the syllabus and fair though not exactly from past examination questions but they were in the same direction.

    ”I am sure to score high marks because I know I read well for this examination.

    ”I also appreciate the entire process, the exercise was timely, I didn’t have any problems with my computer and those who did were attended to swiftly by the officials.“

    Over 1.3 million candidates registered and were expected to sit for the examination across the board’s CBT centres nationwide.

    2021 UTME: JAMB gives update on candidates with incomplete registration

    Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has advised candidates whose registration process is incomplete to visit special centres to finish the process.

    JAMB’s Head of Media Dr Fabian Benjamin gave the advice in a statement on Monday.

    Benjamin said the advice affected only those who could not complete their registration during the earlier scheduled registration period.

    He said only candidates whose names were compiled after giving reasons for incomplete registration process and had been contacted “are expected to visit the centres”.

    “At the end of the period originally scheduled for the 2021/2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registration on May 15, the registration period was extended.

    “Another two weeks that elapsed on May 29, was given to accommodate candidates who, largely due to issues related with newly introduced pre-requisite of National Identification Number (NIN), could not register.

    “Additional extension of two weeks was made to compile the list of all prospective candidates who for any reason were unable to register.

    “The candidates who have not registered but have secured the profile codes and initiated the registration process are expected to visit the specially designated registration centres to complete the registration on Tuesday, June 15.

    “Designated registration centre for each candidate is being forwarded to them through the GSM text (SMS) messages and also available on the website of the Board (www.jamb.gov.ng) from 12 noon on Monday, June 14.

    “The identification number on each form given to the candidates has been used to assign the candidates to their registration centres.

    “Only candidates who have secured their profile codes are expected to visit the centres.

    “Also, the names of the few who have not yet obtained their NIN or profile codes have been forwarded to NIMC and would be contacted as soon as they are cleared by NIMC.

    “Each candidate posted to any non-JAMB owned CBT centre is expected to pay the registration fee of N1,000 to such CBT centre,” Benjamin said.

    The 2021 UTME is scheduled to commence from June 19 to July 3.

    The Registrar of the board, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, however, disclosed the possibility of conducting a second UTME for candidates with genuine registration challenges.

    Oloyede made the disclosed this on Wednesday in Lagos, while monitoring profiling of candidates with 2021 UTME registration challenges.

  • JAMB asks 2021 UTME candidates to pay for mock exam at centre

    JAMB asks 2021 UTME candidates to pay for mock exam at centre

    The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has directed all candidates sitting the 2021 mock examination to pay the sum of N700.

    TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports JAMB made this known on Monday, directing the candidates to pay the N700 Centre owners as the mock examination fee.

    “All candidates sitting the 2021 Mock examination scheduled for Thursday, 3rd June 2021 are advised to go to their assigned centres with N700.

    “The amount would be paid to the Centre owner as the mock examination fee,” the Nigerian entrance examination board for tertiary-level institutions stated.

    Meanwhile, in its weekly bulletin, published by the office of the registrar on Monday in Abuja, JAMB said it will no longer extend the closing date for candidates registering for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the Direct Entry (DE) applications.

    Recall that the board had earlier extended the exercise from the initial closing date of May 15 to Saturday, May 29, to avail candidates who are unable to register within this period the opportunity to carry out a seamless exercise.

    The new closing date ended on Saturday May 29.

    According to JAMB, in spite of the two-week date extension, complaints of candidates’ inability to register persisted.

    The complaints received, the board stated, were lateness or non-delivery of National Identity Number (NIN) verification code; inability to obtain NIN; mismatch or wrong names originally submitted to National Identity Management Commission ( NIMC).

    The board said while few of such excuses have been found to be genuine, a large number were traceable to fraudsters whom it alleged, were hell bent on subverting the system.

    JAMB said, however, that it will give another opportunity to those who have genuinely tried to register but failed, due to some of the challenges mentioned.

    “Due to time constraints within the window available to JAMB on the Annual National Examinations Timetable, further extension of the registration period is not feasible.

    “Nevertheless, the board wants to avail every prospective candidate the opportunity to still participate in the 2021 registration exercise.

    “Consequently, all prospective candidates with genuine proof(s) of failed efforts to register before the closing date, should visit any of JAMB’s offices for reconciliation between Monday, May 31, and June 15.

    “This offices also include JAMB-owned Professional Test Centres across the country.

    “Candidates with genuine reasons for missing the registration are to obtain and complete a form, at no cost.

    “They are to submit, for the Reading Test and the Application, a certified Bank Draft of N4,000 only in favour of JAMB and obtain a signed duplicate copy from the office.

    “They will also submit the completed form with a recent passport photograph at the same office of collection and collect a copy of the Reading Test.

    “Candidates are to wait for further directives through the registered phone number and Public Service Announcement through the NTA Network News as soon as screening is completed.”

    JAMB said, however, that 1,383,420 candidates procured the Pin for registration as at May 29, while 1,375,694 have completed their registration.

    It reiterated that there will be no registration for 2021 UTME/DE without a properly obtained NIN which had to be verified or validated by the NIMC.

    The board added that any candidate who submits another application after having successfully registered during the earlier registration period will have the two attempts disqualified.

    “Any false claim will attract severe sanctions, including forfeiture of the deposited Bank Draft, cancellation of application(s) and prosecution.

    “Due to the fact that some parents and school proprietors have been found to mislead candidates for illicit gains and personal aggrandizement, the board advises all to allow each candidate to personally go through the process.

    “JAMB does not tolerate the involvement of any third party or group in the registration process,” it warned.

  • UTME 2021: Senate sends strong message to JAMB over NIN requirement

    UTME 2021: Senate sends strong message to JAMB over NIN requirement

    The Senate on Tuesday told the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to further extend the registration deadline for 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or consider suspending the National Identity Number (NIN) requirement.

    The Senate told JAMB to consider suspending the NIN requirement for prospective students until there is a seamless and well-organised process for obtaining the NIN.

    Hitherto, the Senate mandated the Ministry of Education, JAMB and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to review the implementation of the NIN policy.

    This foregoing was sequel to a Point of Order raised by Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah (YPP-Anambra) during plenary.

    The motion is titled “The need to address the untold hardship caused by the introduction of NIN as compulsory requirement for JAMB registration”.

    The upper chamber urged the Ministry of Education and NIMC to introduce and streamline a simple and decentralised NIN registration process where students would be able to obtain their NIN in their various accredited school premises.

    The JAMB recently made NIN mandatory for students seeking admission into universities of their choice.

    Raising Orders 42 and 52 of the Senate Standing Rules, Ubah while noting the untold hardship the policy had generated for students said the action ” is inconsiderate and a premature decision”.

    He said: “For JAMB to include NIN as a precondition for registration of UTME candidates in 2021 is inconsiderate.

    “This action is an inconsiderate and premature decision that has further complicated the already rigorous process of both registering for JAMB examination and procuring the NIN.

    “JAMB initially attempted to start the implementation of this policy in 2020/but had to postpone it owing to technical problems and irregularities bedeviling the process of obtaining NIN from NIMC.

    “From all indications, these technical hitches are yet to be addressed; the long queues at NIMC centres are a testimony to the fact that a well organised process is yet to be put in place to ease the stressful process of registration.

    “The board (JAMB) already has enough logistical and technical problems to tackle.”

    Ubah further said that adding more complications was counterproductive and would serve as a hindrance to young Nigerians desirous of getting into higher institutions to further their education.

    Seconding the motion Sen. Uche Ekwunife (PDP-Anambra) said it was a very straightforward motion and apt.

    “This has come when we have to show concern for what is happening on students presenting NIN before they are registered for JAMB.

    “Mr President, remember that the whole of last year was taken over by COVID-19 and that restricted a lot of movement and it made it impossible for many students to have access to NIN.

    “Telling our students now that they cannot register for WAEC and GCE because they do not have NIN is actually very insensitive on the part of JAMB and NECO.

    “Mr President I want to state very clearly that the awareness on NIN has not been felt. There is no public enlightenment, many people don’t even understand what NIN stands for.

    “The awareness has not been taken to the grassroots; the enlightenment has not been taken to schools; it has not been taken to universities and tertiary institutions.

    “Therefore many children and many students don’t even know the need for them to have the NIN, they don’t even know that the NIN is a requirement for them to participate in NECO and GCE.

    “Schools should not make NIN as a requirement for participation in any examination,” Ekwunife said.

    The resolutions were unanimously adopted by the senators after a Voice Vote by President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan.

  • BREAKING: 2021 UTME may be shifted – JAMB Registrar

    BREAKING: 2021 UTME may be shifted – JAMB Registrar

    The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede has said 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) might be shifted.

    Prof. Oloyede, who made this known during a virtual meeting with 2021 UTME Committee Members on Friday, said the possibility of shifting the date for the 2021 UTME is very high.

    He disclosed that over 600,000 candidates who indicated interest in sitting for the exams, scheduled to hold between June 5 and June 19, are yet to register.

    He said the candidates were finding it difficult to register due to the challenges of National Identification Number (NIN).

    He said so far, 1.1 million candidates had registered for the 2021 UTME, stating that the board anticipated approximately 1.9 million registrations at the end of the exercise.

    The JAMB boss noted that though 50 per cent of candidates had already registered without problem, there was need to carry everyone along.

    According to him, that after meeting with stakeholders, we will decide on whether to shift the exam or not.

    “The possibility of shifting the exam forward is still high; but that will be determined after our meeting with stakeholders.

    “This is because about 600,000 candidates who have indicated interest in the exam are yet to register. There is need to give everyone the opportunity,” he said.

    Oloyede apologised for the new initiatives introduced in the 2021 UTME, saying that it was not to punish candidates but to exposed candidates in the habit of indulging in various forms of malpractices.

    He added that candidates were expected to provide two pictures on the candidate slip, picture of the person who registered at JAMB office, picture of the owner of the name who registered with NIN.

    He called on candidates to take note of the process, adding that the essence was to detect any disparity in the process.

    “We apologise for putting you through some hardship in the registration. The government directed that anyone participating in JAMB must have their NIN. This is beyond our control. Those who are yet to register should do so.

    “The mock exam is billed to come up on May 20. It is an optional exam meant to test the system. As you all know, the main exam is coming up between June 5 and June 19.

    “Shifting the exam date is not the solution, at the meeting we will discuss on how some of the problems encountered by candidates will be resolved. It is important that we carry everyone along,’’ he added.

    He further disclosed that JAMB had secured about 802 exam centres across the country and 104 centres in towns adding that Lagos state alone has four centres.

  • 2021 UTME: Mock examination slips ready for printing – JAMB

    2021 UTME: Mock examination slips ready for printing – JAMB

    The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) says that mock examination slips for its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now be printed out in preparation for the exercise.

    JAMB made this known in its Weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar and made available on Monday in Abuja.

    “Candidates who had registered for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and indicated interest to sit for the optional mock examination are to print their mock notification slips from Sunday, May 9.

    “This is in preparation for the mock examination scheduled for Thursday, May 20.

    “The optional mock notification slips can be printed from anywhere candidates find to be convenient, provided they have access to the internet.

    “Candidates are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng then click on e-facility and print their slips,” the bulletin reads.

    The board added that the slip contained candidates’ details such as registration number and the centre to which they are to sit for the examination within their chosen examination town.

    The slip, it further said, also contained the expected time the candidates were to be at the centre.

    It further urged candidates to study the contents of the slip after printing it out in order to know the location of their examination centres on time, to avoid confusion on the scheduled date of the exercise.

    JAMB also said that a total of 845,517 candidates have so far registered for the 2021 UTME and a total of 38,886 candidates have registered for Direct Entry (DE) as of Sunday, May 9.

    Registration commenced on April 8, to end on May 15, while the examination is scheduled to commence from June 5 to June 19.

    In a similar development, the board has cautioned the public against falling victims to scammers whom it said have continued to use its name to commit illicit acts.

    The board said that its attention had been drawn to ” the activities of criminal elements who claim to be recruiting invigilators on behalf of the Board for the 2021 UTME/DE.

    “They do this while also requesting the payment of acceptance fee of N5,000 payable to the syndicates.

    “The board wish to state unequivocally, that it is not recruiting any invigilator or any official in that capacity for that matter.

    “It should be noted that even the term ‘invigilator’ is alien to the Board’s operations and therefore, the public is advised to be wary of anybody purporting to be acting on its behalf.”

    The board added that it had in place a transparent and fool proof process of recruiting ad-hoc staff or any other officials it needed to make progress.

    JAMB said it has become necessary to notify the public on the development so that people were not scammed and parted with their hard-earned resources on the premise of securing non-existing jobs with the board.

    “To ensure that the public is not misled, the Board has provided several platforms for the public to verify any information purported to have been released by it, to save the public from being misled.”

    The board also stated that it has commenced series of meetings with its critical stakeholders to consolidate on its preparations for the 2021 UTME/DE exercise.
