The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has explained why the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registration, originally scheduled to kick off on Thursday, April 8, 2021, experienced a brief initial delay.
Why Registration Was Delayed
- In a statement issued by JAMB's Head of Media and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board noted that the temporary delay was caused by technical adjustments needed to ensure seamless National Identification Number (NIN) integration with NIMC.
- JAMB withheld its newspaper registration advertorial on April 8 while finalizing smooth e-PIN vending and candidate access to the 2021 registration platform.
- Candidates were urged to remain calm and use the brief pause to intensify their exam preparation rather than relaxing.
