THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has postponed the registration exercise for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry, scheduled to commence today (Thursday).
The postponement became necessary, owing to some unforeseen circumstances occasioned by the determination of the Board to have a NIN integration.
Head of Media and Protocol, JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
“The Board’s registration exercise was speculated to begin today 8th April 2021. To be sure all processes are completed before the commencement, the Board didn’t place its advertorial as it was yet to complete the process of a smooth pin vending and candidate access to the registration app for the 2021 UTME/DE,” he explained.
According to him, the advertisement is the surest indication of the beginning of the exercise as it has all the step by step process that candidates are required to follow.
“However, this delay is caused by some unforeseen circumstances occasioned by our determined effort to have a NIN integration. This challenge is being resolved and once that is done, all processes shall commence,” Fabian said.
“The process shall be up and running shortly for our advertisement to be rolled out so that candidates can begin the creation of profile,” ne noted.
