The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a final one-week alert to all prospective 2022/2023 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates, warning that both e-PIN sales and CBT biometric registration will close on the exact same day: Saturday, 26th March 2022.

JAMB 2022 UTME/DE e-PIN vending and registration ends the same day

Why There Will Be No Extra Days After e-PIN Closure

  • In some previous years, e-PIN vending closed a day or two before biometric capture ended, leading candidates to buy e-PINs at the last minute hoping for extra days to register.
  • For 2022, JAMB clarified that both e-PIN vending and physical registration at CBT centres end simultaneously on Saturday, 26th March 2022, and no extension will be granted because the national examination timetable was jointly fixed with WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB.

Register immediately at an accredited CBT centre and start practicing past questions on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
