The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had about 3 weeks ago announced the commencement of the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry registration exercise on April 8, 2021, to May 15, 2021, with National Identification Number (NIN) made mandatory at the point of registration.
This was put on hold due to the exam body’s effort to ensure that candidates have access to its registration app for the 2021 UTME/DE and also finalise work on its pin vending process before the take-off of the exercise.
However, in a new statement, the spokesperson for JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said the registration for the examinations has now commenced in full swings as all the issues have been resolved.
JAMB in its public communications gave a guide on how to register for the UTME.

The issue of getting profile code seems so embarrassing and disappointing we need a quick response from Jamb… although I got mine so easier just make sure your nin and your mobile number registration is correlated….wish you all good luck
Sending profile code that will not connect to the jamb database is waste of time and wasting our Commonwealth. Pls deplete the sites in batches or in trenchies for easy administration
