The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has
begun registration for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination in
over 700 centres across the 36 states of the federation.
The board advised candidates to avoid being
conned by fraudulent operators, noting that an extension would not be given for
the UTME registration.
The JAMB’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, stated
this on Thursday in a statement, adding that the deadline for the optional mock
examination was December 30, 2017.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, had
said in November that the 2018 UTME would hold from March 9 to March 17 in
about 620 Computer-Based Test centres nationwide.
Oloyede had said the application fee remained
N5,000.
The board’s spokesman said on Thursday that
candidates were advised to register within the time frame as there would not be
an extension.
He said, “We will also want to state clearly that
the board does not post candidates to any examination town other than the one
chosen by the candidate at the point of registration. Candidates are,
however, advised to register on time before the available spaces in their town
of choice are exhausted.
“The registration exercise started on
Wednesday, December 6. The system is simple and convenient, and
candidates are requested to do it by themselves to avoid being defrauded by
anybody.
“Candidates who desire to register for the
optional mock are also urged to do so as the platform will be withdrawn by
December 30. Only those who have registered and indicated their interest on or
before that time will be enlisted to participate.
“The board again reiterated its avowed
commitment to conduct a hitch-free examination and advance the cause of any
Nigerian child desirous of qualitative tertiary education in the country.”
