Why JAMB postponed UTME/DE registration by one-week
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has postponed the commencement of registration for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry from Saturday February 19 to March 26, 2022.

According to JAMB, “The process, which will be concluded within the one-week extension period, is also aimed at accommodating feedback from candidates and other stakeholders alike”.
The statement added: “The Board wishes the general public to note that the Board is ever-ready to provide world-class services to Nigerians.
“Further to the above, the new and improved procedures for the 2022 UTME Registration would be made available on the Board’s website, its weekly bulletin as well as other media outlets on Monday, 14th February, 2022.
