The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has postponed the start of registration for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) from February 12 to 19.

 

A statement by the board’s Director of Public Relations, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, explained that the postponement is meant to allow the board test-run new registration procedures.

The statement reads: “The commencement of the 2022/23 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registration exercise earlier scheduled for Saturday, February 12, 2022, has now been postponed to Saturday, February 26, 2022.

“The one-week postponement is to allow for more fine-tuning of the upgraded and more user-friendly procedures for candidates’ registration. The process, which will be concluded within the one-week extension period, is also aimed at accommodating feedbacks from candidates and other stakeholders alike.
