JAMB: Registration for 2023 UTME begins on January 14.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board, JAMB, has announced that registration for its 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, UTME will start on January 14, 2023.

The board also said that Direct Entry, DE registration will begin

from February 20 to April 20, 2023.

JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin said on Tuesday, that the decisions were taken at the end of the board’s management meeting held on Tuesday.

He said: “The Board has approved the commencement of registration for the 2023 UTME from January 14 to February 14, 2023.

“This, however, does not include registration for Direct Entry application documents as the DE registration would commence from February 20 to April 20, 2023,” Benjamin said.

He said candidates will have to pay an N1,000 service charge for the mock examination at the point of registering for the UTME.

 “Candidates are to note that they would be required to pay the sum of N1,000 service charge for CBT centers for the conduct of mock examination at the point of registration, to prevent a situation where candidates would indicate their interest to sit the mock-UTME leading the various centers to commit human and material resources only for them to stay away on the day of the examination.

“With the new arrangement, candidates will indicate their interest by paying for the mock at the point of UTME registration, therefore, precluding the centers from incurring any loss whether candidates turn up or not.

Dr. Benjamin further said that the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, itself will start on April 29, 2023, and end on May 12, 2023.

  “Also, the Board, after considering its other commitments, fixed April 29, 2023, for the conduct of the 2023 UTME, which is expected to end on May 12, 2023.

“The board advises all candidates, who desire to register for the 2023 UTME to immediately embark on the creation of their respective profiles (creation of profile code) ahead of the formal commencement of the registration exercise to avoid being caught up in any ensuing bottleneck.”
