The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has notified all interested applicants for the 2021 UTME that an extension of the registration timeline can no longer be extended.
This was disclosed by the board in its weekly bulletin after it had extended the date to May 15 and then May 29 2021 amid complaints by candidates of their inability to register.
The bulletin made published by the office of the registrar expressed its dedication to supporting candidates who were unable to complete the registration exercise.
It advised all candidates faced with registration issues to visit any of its offices “for reconciliation between” May 31 and June 15.
The bulletin read, “Due to time constraints within the window available to JAMB on the Annual National Examinations Timetable, further extension of the registration period is not feasible.

“This offices also include JAMB-owned Professional Test Centres across the country.
“Candidates with genuine reasons for missing the registration are to obtain and complete a form, at no cost.
