The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has opened an online portal to refund the ₦4,000 bank draft deposited by 2021 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates who applied for late registration in 2021 but were unable to complete the process before the window closed.

JAMB asks 2021 UTME/DE candidates who could not complete their registration to apply for refund

  4. Use the validated token to open the refund form and enter your personal bank account details to receive the ₦4,000 refund.

Two-Week Submission Deadline

Can I use that N4,000 draft directly for the 2022 UTME registration instead of collecting a refund?

No, Damilola. 2021 bank drafts cannot be rolled over directly into the 2022 e-PIN system. Fill out the online recapture form so the ₦4,000 is refunded straight into your bank account, and then use the money to buy your 2022 e-PIN.
