UTME form on sale tomorrow

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board said it would commence the sale of 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination application forms from September 15, 2014 to January 15, 2015.

The board stated that following its resolution to implement full-blown, Computer-Based Test in the 2015 UTME, a number of reforms aimed at repositioning the examination sector had been put in place to ensure a hitch-free exercise.

A statement by the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, on Tuesday in Abuja, explained that the board had fine-tuned arrangements with CBT centres to register prospective UTME candidates.

This, it noted, became necessary to make the registration exercise error and stress-free for candidates.

The board said that it had discovered that most of the cases of impersonation and other malpractices were initiated from the registration process at cybercafes, hence the need to regulate the registration process to ensure the system was malpractice-free.

It said, “By this arrangement, candidates are to obtain their application document from the designated banks and proceed to any of our CBT centres and register for the examination at a regulated fee.

“There are about 300 centres all over the country and the centre members of staff have been trained for this purpose.”
