Following the expiration of the two-week extended registration window on Saturday, 29th May 2021, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that general CBT registration will not be extended further, but has opened a special reconciliation window from Monday, 31st May to Tuesday, 15th June 2021, for genuine candidates who could not register due to NIN hitches.
Who Qualifies for the May 31 - June 15 Reconciliation Window?
In its Weekly Bulletin released on Monday, 31st May 2021, JAMB noted that candidates who have verifiable proof of failed attempts to register before the closing date—due to non-delivery of NIN verification codes, inability to obtain NIN, or name mismatches at NIMC—should visit any JAMB State Office or JAMB-owned Professional Testing Centre (PTC) nationwide.
4-Step Procedure at the JAMB Office
- Collect & Fill Reconciliation Form (Free): Obtain and complete the special late registration form at the JAMB office at no cost.
- Submit ₦4,000 Bank Draft: Submit a certified Bank Draft of ₦4,000 (Four Thousand Naira) only in favour of JAMB (covering the application and reading text) and collect a signed duplicate copy of the form.
- Attach Passport & Collect Novel: Submit the completed form with a recent passport photograph at the same JAMB office and collect your copy of the reading text (The Life Changer).
- Wait for SMS Posting: Wait for an SMS notification on your registered phone number assigning you to a designated CBT centre once NIMC/JAMB screening is completed.
While your reconciliation is being processed, study past questions daily on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
