The Joint Admission And Matriculation Bord (JAMB) has extended the 2023 Unifid Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration exercises by one week, starting from Wednesday, February 15, 2023.
The extention according to the board, is due to the failure of candidates to get cash and the difficulty in using electronic channels to purchase ePINs.
It said by the extension the sail of ePINs would end on Monday, while the UTME registration would end on Wednesday, February 22.
JAMB had earlier slated the closing date for the sale of both the ePINs and the 2023 UTME application documents for Tuesday, February 14th.
JAMB spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin in a statement on Wednesday, said at the close of sales of the ePINs on Tuesday, 1,527, 068 candidates had successfully registered for the 2023 UTME exercise, including the 168,748 candidates, who indicated their interest to take the Mock-UTME.
He noted that the board, based on its projection, had expanded its capacity to register up to 100,000 per day.
"with this, it's possible to register all desiring candidates within the space of a few days. However, less than 50,000 candidates were turning for registration which is less than the installed registration capacity.
" it has, as a consequence, granted this extension to ensure to ensure that all candidates who desire to register for the 2023 UTME are given the opportunity to do so expecially when the extant challenges are not of their own making." he added.
