This was made known by JAMB Head of Media, Fabian Benjamin during a telephone chat with newsmen on Wednesday. The JAMB Registrar, Ishaq Oloyede, on the other hand has frowned at agitations for the reduction of JAMB Registration fees. According to him, the fee collected by JAMB is one of the lowest in the world. “Why are they not asking WAEC (to reduce fee)? Why are they not asking NECO? Why are they not asking NABTEB? Why JAMB? He asked rhetorically. He said the exam body would only follow a directive from the appropriate quarters on the cost of UTME. “If the government feels we should adjust, we will adjust and not as a result of unqualified, base

JAMB Upgrades Cut-Off Marks for 2018 Admissions into Universities Reports reaching us suggests that JAMB has upgraded the Cut-Off Marks for Admissions into tertiary institutions as follows; Universities - 140, Polytechnics - 120, Colleges - 100, Institutes - 110. Please continue reading to see implications of this below. There's absolutely no need to panic about the upgrade in cut-off marks. As we reported earlier, the schools are absolutely responsible for releasing the final cut-off marks for taking Post-UTME in the institution. This information will be released as the school is releasing information about their post-UTME. This however means that no school will be able to take any candidate, who scores below the minimum JAMB score as categorised above. Please ensure you visit here on a daily basis to get Post-UTME updates from all schools. You will be able to track each school easily from here.

General Post-UTME Dates for 1st & 2nd Choice Candidates - Must Read This is to inform you that the Vice Chancellors, Rectors of all tertiary institutions have agreed to conduct Post-UTME for 1st Choice Candidates between 2nd July to 16th October, 2018, while Post-UTME for 2nd Choice Candidates will commence between 17th October to 17th December. If we are to interpret these released dates literally, it simply means that all institutions will conduct two sets of Post-UTME Screenings. The first will be for those who selected the institution as 1st choice, and later, they will conduct for those who selected them as 2nd choice. No information was released about 3rd or 4th Choice Selections. We're not certain how these institutions intend to manage these screenings, or whether or not 1st choice candidates have more quota than 2nd choice candidates. We expect schools to be more transparent, and give explicit information about their conduct of Post-UTME Screening for this 2018/20

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that the results of the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will not be released immediately. This was made known by the Registrar, Prof, Oloyede. According to him, the reason there will be delay in release of results is to review the activities of the candidates and to minimize the number of cancellations. The JAMB boss mentioned thOat last year the board proved a point that there is nothing extra ordinary in releasing results immediately. However, some results were later cancelled when the board found out what happened in some centres through the CCTV Cameras. So if we have to take two or three days to look at the conduct of the candidates before releasing the 2018 result so as to minimize cancellation, then we will do so.” He said Mr. Oloyede said no computer-based centre is allowed to collect any cash from the candidates for the main exam adding that the board will release the agreed s

JAMB Mock Exam 2018: New Date To Be Announced Soon An earlier announcement by JAMB had it that the mock exam will hold 1st week of February. However, till now the board is yet to announce a definite date for it. The purpose of the Mock examination is to give candidates who have little or no Idea about JAMB CBT to get familiar with it. The truth is with or without the mock examination, you can start getting familiar with the JAMB CBT questions. We believe the delay in the conduct of the Mock exam was due to the fact that the earlier deadline for the 2018 UTME Registration was postponed. With the conclusion of the 2018 UTME Registration, we expect JAMB to announce the date for the Mock examination any moment from now. Please note that the Mock examination is not a criterion for participating in the main examination, neither will it be part of your score/result in the main exam.

While disclosing this in Abuja, the Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, noted that it would not entertain any complaints from candidates who fail to complete their registration exercise. He said the extension applied to candidates who had initiated registration processes and had paid and procured the registration e-pins but could not register at the closed of sales. He mentioned that a total of 1,662,818 candidates purchased the 2018 UTME form while 1,650,547 had successfully registered for the 2018 UTME.

This decision was announced by the JAMB Head of Information, after a meeting on Tuesday in Abuja. The Board however warned that there will be no further extension, if any candidate does not successfully register on 11th February. JAMB also added that such culture of late registration by candidates, and extensions every year has to be curtailed, and the board may impose a fine for late registrations in future.
