JAMB rules out UTME deadline extension

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has again served notice that it will not extend the deadline for candidates seeking to write the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry examinations into Nigerian universities.

The JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, said this on Saturday while touring some computer-based test centres in Abuja designated to conduct the forthcoming examinations.

“Registration is going on well except for some of these schools. The deadline for the UTME will not be extended,” he said.

The JAMB chief reminded parents and admission seekers that the sale of 2023 UTME commenced on January 14, 2023, and will close on Tuesday, February 14, 2023, and they should take advantage of the remaining window to purchase the forms.

He also warned the centres against extorting parents and candidates seeking to purchase the JAMB forms.
