JAMB Suspends 2020 UTME/DE Registration in 243 centres

Why Registration Was Paused for One Day

Speaking with journalists in Lagos, JAMB's Head of Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, explained that the temporary pause in the 243 centres is solely to allow the Board to conduct a scheduled third-party recruitment examination today, Thursday, January 16.

  • Resumption Date: Normal 2020 UTME/DE registration will resume across all 243 affected CBT centres tomorrow, Friday, 17th January 2020.
  • Unaffected Centres Remain Open: Over 450 other accredited CBT centres not hosting the third-party recruitment test remain open for UTME/DE registration today.

Exactly, Damilola! The 243 centres did nothing wrong—they are just hosting a one-day recruitment CBT exam today and will reopen for JAMB registration tomorrow morning, Friday, January 17.
