The Joint Admission and Matriculations Board says registration for the 2024/2025 Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examinations will begin today and end on February 24, 2024.
JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this during a meeting with media executives in Lagos State and rolled out the registration process for interested candidates nationwide.
He added that measures have been implemented to ensure a smooth exercise.
Oloyede said, “Prior to the commencement of the registration exercise, the Board conducts an accreditation exercise to check the suitability of each CBT Centre for the conduct of its examination.”
Oloyede noted that members of the accreditation team of the CBT centres for the 2024 UTME included the Chief External Examiners (VCs/Rectors/Provosts), Technical Advisors, JAMB state coordinators and JAMB Technical Officers.
Part of the procedures for the registration is that candidates are expected to create a profile through the National Identity Number at various Computer-Based Test centres across the country. The registration fee is N3,500 and the payment will be cashless to avoid any extortion.
Meanwhile, JAMB has accredited 747 CBT centres for the 2024 UTME, with Lagos having the highest centres with 80, followed by Ogun with 44, and Oyo with 42 centres.
Zamfara has the lowest number of accredited centres – 6, while both Ebonyi and Kebbi States have 8 centres each.
