The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on
Sunday, said there will be no extension of registration after Monday, February
17.
It also disclosed that nearly 2 million prospective
candidates have registered for the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME), the highest ever.
“There will be no extension for the registration of
candidates for both the UTME and the Direct Entry (DE) as being speculated in
some quarters”, Fabian Benjamin, Head of Media and Information, told NAN
“Registration for this year’s examination ends by 12
midnight of Feb. 17, and that will be it for this year.
“The board is pleased with the way the exercise has gone so
far and with this, we have registered over 1.9 million candidates.
“This figure is the highest that the board has ever recorded
in the history of its examination.
“We are happy that we keep improving every day in a bid to
ensure effective management of our operations,” he stated.
The spokesman added that a total of 669 out of the 747
centres across the country will be used for the conduct of the computer-based
test (CBT).
“One of the purposes of the mock examination is to test-run
the facilities in these centres. Anyone of them that falls short of standard
will automatically be delisted,” he said.
