JAMB Says It Won’t Extend UTME/Direct Entry Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said it will not extend the registration deadline for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and the Direct Entry (DE).

The board said this in a statement by its Head of Information and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin in Abuja.

The statement said: "The ongoing 2022 UTME/DE registration exercise scheduled to end on March 26, 2022 would not be extended. This is because the time scheduled for the registration exercise – from February 19, to March 26, 2022 – is the only window allotted by relevant authorities to the board to conduct the exercise.

"It should be noted that registration and examination dates are not fixed arbitrarily but through a consensus of opinions of the Federal Ministry of Education and examination agencies.
