With just three days remaining before the initial Saturday, 15th May 2021 registration deadline, figures from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) show that just over 1 million candidates have completed their registration, compared to 1.9 million UTME and 200,000 Direct Entry candidates captured within the same timeframe in 2020.
Stakeholders Meeting to Approve Extension
- Approximately 600,000 prospective candidates who initiated the process of generating their 10-digit Profile Codes via 55019 are still awaiting verification responses due to NIMC/telecom bottlenecks.
- JAMB convened an emergency stakeholders' meeting with civil society groups, education officials, and the media to approve a two-week extension of the registration deadline (subsequently extended to Saturday, 29th May 2021).
