JAMB EXTENDS 2018 UTME REGISTRATION DEADLINE

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced on Tuesday night – 6th February 2018, on their official website that the 2018 UTME registration has been extended to midnight of Sunday, 11th February 2018.

The statement reads: JAMB as a responsive organization has taken the decision albeit with great hesitation to accommodate candidates who failed to register between the two months window period that ended at midnight of Tuesday, 6th February, 2018. The failure of these candidates to register is unfortunate and the Board hastens to add that this culture of impunity will not be tolerated henceforth. Indeed penalty will be imposed for late registration from the next session. UTME candidates are therefore strongly advised to take advantage of the extension to register as a request for further extension would not be entertained.

Registration for Direct Entry candidates however continues. For emphasis, 2018 UTME registration now closes at midnight on Sunday, 11th February 2018

“For foreign candidates to be eligible to write the examination in a foreign center, they must have stayed in the foreign country for at least a minimum of six months.
“You must have schooled there, you must have had your secondary education there; you must show evidence of having stayed there for a period of six months.
“If you have stayed in Nigeria and just flown to London to register, you are not eligible; you must have schooled or had your secondary education outside the country.
“Not that you just finished Senior Secondary Certificate Examination in 2016, and you are rushing to the United Kingdom to go and write your examination,” Mr. Benjamin said.
The Direct Entry is sold at the same price previously pegged at N5,000, adding that the Board was yet to fix the price for application for foreign candidates.

 

He said that the JAMB Direct Entry was mainly for people who already possessed a diploma certificate and wished to do a programme at the university.
