With just two weeks left in the registration window, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reiterated that there will be no extension of the 2022/2023 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) registration exercise scheduled to run from 19th February to 26th March 2022.
Why JAMB Cannot Extend the March 26 Deadline
In a statement signed by JAMB spokesperson Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board explained the following:
- National examination dates are agreed upon at an inter-agency roundtable with the Federal Ministry of Education and sister examination bodies (WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB), meaning JAMB cannot encroach into the time slots allotted to other national exams.
- Despite JAMB's high daily registration capacity across CBT centres nationwide, the Board observed a drop in daily candidate turnout and urged all remaining aspirants to complete their registration before Saturday, 26th March 2022.
Once registered, kick-start your exam preparation with over 60,000 past questions and answers on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
