There Would Be No Extension Of 2022 UTME/De Registration

Favour Ishember, Abuja

The ongoing 2022 UTME/DE Registration Exercise scheduled to end on 26th March, 2022 would not be extended.This is because the time scheduled for the registration exercise from 19th February, to 26th March, 2022, is the only window allotted by relevant authorities to the Board to conduct the exercise.

The Head, Public relations unit of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board(JAMB), Dr. Fabian Benjamin on Thursday, stated this in a press release made available to Daily Champion in Abuja.

It should be noted that registration and examination dates are not fixed arbitrarily but through a consensus of opinions of the Federal Ministry of Education and examination agencies. The release added.

Hence, before the commencement of registration or examination for any given year, all public examinations bodies are invited to a roundtable where they are expected to agree on the timetable of activities for each examination agency and which must be strictly adhered to. It explained.

This announcement is necessary because of the drop in the number of candidates coming forward to register in spite of the capacity of the Board to register more daily.

By this announcement, the Board is urging prospective candidates who desire to register for the 2022/23 UTME/DE to come out to register as they have only two weeks to do so as no extension would be granted after the close of registration.

The release states that the general public is to note that it is practically impossible for the Board to even contemplate any extension of registration as sister examination bodies such as WAEC NECO and NABTEB, have their allotted time which the Board cannot usurped.
