The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has announced that the Board may conduct a second 2021 UTME batch after the main examination window (slated for 19th June to 3rd July 2021) to accommodate candidates with genuine NIN and registration challenges.

JAMB considers conduct of a 2nd UTME for 2021 candidates with registration issues

17,758 Candidates Profiled Nationwide

  • Speaking while monitoring the special profiling exercise, Prof. Oloyede disclosed that about 17,758 candidates with registration challenges had been profiled nationwide ahead of the Tuesday, 15th June 2021 close of the special exercise.
  • Once NIMC clears the remaining candidates' NIN records and their biometric capture is finalized, those who cannot be slotted into the 19th June to 3rd July main window will be scheduled for a dedicated mop-up examination.

Use this extra preparation time wisely by practicing past questions daily on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.

Yes, Miracle! JAMB holds the Policy Meeting only after the mop-up UTME results are released in August, so no public university can close its Post-UTME before the second batch results come out.
