The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the postponement of the commencement of its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registration by one week.
This was announced in a statement by JAMB’s, Head of Media and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
The statement reads in part, “The commencement of the 2022 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 19, 2022, to end on Saturday, March 26, 2022.
“This one-week postponement is to allow for more fine-tuning of the upgraded and more user-friendly procedures for candidate’s registration. The process, which will be concluded within the one-week extension period, is also aimed at accommodating feedback from candidates and other stakeholders alike.”
According to the statement, new and improved procedures for the 2022 UTME/DE registration would be made available on the board’s weekly bulletin, its website and other media outlets on Monday, February 14, 2022.
