Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME).
his disclosure was made in a statement on
Tuesday by its Head of Media, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who also urged candidates to
disregard all the figures being bandied all over the social media.
“This is only done at a policy committee
meeting with all stakeholders chaired by the Hon Minister of Education which is
yet to hold,” he said.
The apex exam body also announced that it has
commenced the sale of Direct Entry application form for candidates who have
A-level results and wish to gain direct admission to Degree programmes in
Nigerian tertiary institutions and the sale of UTME application for Nigerians
abroad and foreign candidates who desire to attend tertiary institutions in
Nigeria.
“The process is as it was with the UTME where
you create a profile and obtain the pins and proceed for biometric capturing at
the CBT centres for Direct Entry candidates.
“We urge all candidates wishing to register
through direct entry to obtain the pins at Interswitch, Remita or any of the
commercial banks approved earlier for the vending of UTME pins.
JAMB further noted that it has not commenced
the change of course and institutions.
“We will soon begin and when we do start, the changes
will be done in all approved CBT centres nationwide. Candidates need not
necessarily come to the Board’s centres for the change. It can be done in any
of the CBT centres.
“This is to avoid overcrowding of our offices
for services that can be obtained at the utmost comfort by the candidates. The
delay has been occasioned by the Board’s preparation to ensure that the system
is smooth and without encumbrances.
The Board urged the public to note that every
candidate desirous of a change of course or institution will be allowed to do
so as the platform will be open until the close of admission.
“Candidates need not panic or get desperate as
it will not be closed as being speculated by those who want to use the
opportunity of candidates desperation to defraud them. In view of this, they
are not to patronise any fraudulent individuals or organisations but to visit
approved CBT centres and never to hesitate in cross checking any information
they are not too clear about.
“Again we will continue to advise candidates
not to be a victim of fraudsters who claim to have the capacity to inflate
candidates scores, they do not have such ability and when caught the Board will
prosecute both the fraudsters and the candidate who patronise them.”
