The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that over 1.16 million admission seekers have so far registered to take the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry examinations.
\nThe Registrar of JAMB, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, stated this last Saturday, during a monitoring tour of some computer-based test centres in Abuja.
\nOloyede, during the tour, visited CBT centres located at Total Child International School, Dutse; JAMB Abuja zonal office, Life Camp, Global Distance Learning Institute and Sascon International College, Abuja, respectively.
\nHe also said that the board would not extend the deadline for the 2023 UTME registration, while warning centres against extortion of candidates.
\nThe registration for the 2023 UTME commenced on January 14, 2023, and is set to end tomorrow (Tuesday).
\nBut Oloyede said, \u201cRegistration is going on well except for some of these schools. UTME is not a school-based examination, it\u2019s individual candidates and you can see what that school, Stella Maris is doing, collecting N30,000 from candidates in the name of JAMB and then end up mixing up the telephone numbers of the candidates.
\n\u201cThat is a way of extorting the parents and we will take adequate steps to make sure that we stop that. One of the reasons is that we will tell every CBT centre to stop doing bulk purchases of PIN and bulk registration.
\n\u201cSo, if a centre sells more than one PIN to a source or collects money for more than one PIN from a source, then we will sanction such a centre.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
