To eliminate the extortion of candidates by rogue Computer-Based Test (CBT) centre operators, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the 2022 UTME registration process will be 100% cashless at all CBT centres nationwide.
How the Cashless Registration Policy Works
- No Increase in Total Registration Cost: JAMB clarified in its weekly bulletin that the policy only changes the method of payment, not the total cost of registration.
- Upfront Collection of the ₦700 CBT Fee: Instead of candidates paying the approved ₦700 registration service charge in cash at CBT centres (where some unscrupulous centres Previously demanded ₦2,000 to ₦3,000), JAMB will collect the ₦700 upfront alongside the e-PIN payment and remit it directly to the CBT centre that registers the candidate.
- Walk In and Register Without Paying Cash: Once a candidate has purchased their e-PIN, they simply walk into any accredited CBT centre, complete their biometric and form registration, and walk out without paying a single kobo in cash to the centre.
