JAMB Rules Out Extension Of 2022 UTMEDE Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board says the ongoing 2022 UTME/DE registration exercise scheduled to end on March 26 will not be extended.

JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, in a statement Thursday, noted that registration and examination dates are not fixed arbitrarily, but through a consensus of opinions of the 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.”

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