The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned prospective 2021/2022 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates to beware of fraudsters collecting money for unauthorized pre-registration.

2021 JAMB UTME: Date for sales of form to be announced March 24th

Fake Registration Agent Apprehended

  • In its Weekly Bulletin from the Office of the Registrar released on Monday in Abuja, JAMB disclosed that security operatives apprehended one Mr. Okogu Ambrose for defrauding unsuspecting candidates under the pretext of registering them before the official commencement of the 2021/2022 UTME exercise.
  • The Board noted that the slight delay in announcing the 2021 registration timetable was due to COVID-19 academic calendar adjustments and warned that registration can only take place at accredited CBT centres once the portal officially opens.

While preparing for the examination, make sure you study with the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
