The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that it has not yet fixed a date for the commencement of sales of application forms for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE).
Speaking with journalists, JAMB's Head of Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, warned candidates and parents to beware of fake online advertisements claiming that the 2021 forms are already out.
Key Points from JAMB's Statement
- Disregard Fake Adverts: Any website or agent currently collecting money for 2021 UTME/DE forms is fraudulent.
- Reason for Delay: The Board explained that global disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic affected the academic calendar and delayed the usual rollout timeline compared to previous years.
- Official Announcement Soon: As soon as JAMB finalizes the dates, it will inform the public through its official media channels and weekly bulletin.
