JAMB begins sale of 2019 UTME registration forms

• Detailed procedure for registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) commenced sale of registration forms, for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, today Thursday, January 10, 2019.

Sale of forms will last for six weeks.

JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, had said the board would stop using cyber cafes for registration of candidates from this year.

He urged all prospective candidates to do their registration and access the board’s major services, in any of its 718 accredited centres in the country.

According to him, “We are no longer going to allow the cyber cafes to do the registration exercise for prospective candidates because they are extorting candidates and overcharging them.

“They also do services they do not have the capacity to do, coupled with the fact that there was no way of tracking them because they were not registered.

“Another major reason is the mix-up they create on the data of the candidates. Some will just ask the candidates to write their names and other details down for them.

“On accumulating such data, they now get all of them mixed-up, thereby creating problems for these candidates.

“We know there will be uproar because they make a lot of illegitimate money from these services, but we cannot leave the candidates at their mercy.

“Particularly when people will make noise that it is JAMB that was extorting them,” Oloyede said.

The 2019 UTME is scheduled to commence on March 16.
