UTME, direct entry forms not yet on sale, says JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said it has not begun selling the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry forms.

It warned candidates to be wary of fraud.

In a statement, the board noted that the sale of forms would be well publicised when the time comes.

The statement reads: “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has been drawn to the activities of unwholesome elements who had been misleading the general public on the purported commencement of the sale of 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) application documents.

“For the avoidance of doubt, any information in circulation purporting to have emanated from the Board to the effect that the sale of the 2022 UTME and DE forms has commenced is not only fraudulent but is a calculated attempt by mischief makers to create unnecessary panic among prospective candidates for their own selfish ends.
