The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said it will announce new date for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) as soon as it overcomes a challenge to integrate NIN in its procedure.
The exam was initially slated to commence on Thursday, April 8, 2022.
The JAMB’s head of media and protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin explained that finishing touches were being put on PIN vending processes before the take-off of the exercise.
He said: “The Board didn’t place its advertorial as we are yet to complete the process of a smooth PIN vending and candidate access to the registration app for the 2021 UTME/DE.”
He said the Board would place an advertisement detailing all the step-by-step process that candidates are required to follow once the Board is ready.
“The delay is caused by some unforeseen circumstances occasioned by our determined effort to have a NIN integration. This challenge is being resolved and once that is done, all processes shall commence.
“The process shall be up and running shortly for our advertisement to be rollout so that candidates can begin the creation of profile,” he said.
