The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that it may conduct a second 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) after the main exams for candidates with genuine registration challenges.
This is part of the examination body’s commitment to ensuring that every Nigerian child who wants a tertiary education would be given equal opportunity.
This disclosure was made by the Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, on Wednesday in Lagos while monitoring the profiling of candidates with 2021 UTME registration challenges.

What the Registrar of JAMB is saying
Oloyede in his statement said, “So far, we have just 17, 758 candidates with challenges that had been profiled, nationwide. At the end of the entire exercise, we may have to conduct another examination for those with genuine cases after the main UTME slated for June 19 to July 3.
Since I came here this morning and interacted with candidates, I have discovered that most of them are largely unserious and are basically the cause of most of their challenges.
We keep hearing flimsy excuses such as my lesson teacher used his phone to generate the profile code, our tutorial centre helped us to register and I was not in town.

Other reasons advanced are: I used my mother’s NIN to generate my profile code, my mummy did the registration for me,” he said
The JAMB boss said that some candidates were honest enough to say they did not have money to procure the UTME form.
He said, “We have also seen cases where rather than send their NIN to 55019, candidates sent it to 55012, while others sent the same command with postpaid phones rather than pre-paid.’’
Oloyede said that the activities of some tutorial centres remained a hindrance to efforts at sanitising the country’s education system as they have become a haven for examination malpractice.

He, therefore, called on state ministries of education to regulate activities of tutorial centres as part of measures to save the education sector from collapse, expressing regrets that some parents were patronising them with delight.
He said, “These people are just introducing these candidates to how to beat the system, how to make sure that they get questions, particularly fake questions because they cannot get JAMB questions.
Another major challenge threatening the system is intruding parents. They are intruders, who will not allow these children to think rightly and do things on their own but want to hurriedly push them into primary, secondary and tertiary schools at very tender ages.
That is why many of them are prone and exposed to so many mistakes. In order to show the nation that the problem of registration is not what a section of the media is painting it to be, we came up with this initiative of asking all candidates with genuine excuses to visit our offices nationwide.”
What you should know
It was earlier reported that more than 500,000 candidates had claimed they were unable to register for the examination within the given time frame – before May 15.
JAMB also shifted the 2021 UTME from June 19 to July 3 as part of the outcome of a 2-day stakeholders’ meeting the board held in Abuja.
The candidates cited the inability to generate a profile code and difficulty in obtaining the National Identification Number (NIN).
The board had insisted that no candidate would be allowed to sit for the examination without providing the NIN.
Following the challenges, the board allowed a 2-week window for the affected people to lodge their complaints at its offices or registration centres and get help.
The JAMB registrar should deploy emerging technologies to checkmate the activities of registration and tutorial centres. His earlier decision to ban business services centres has thrown million of Nigerians who are small and micro business owners into poverty due to their closures. Trowing away a baby along with the bath-water is compounding employment crisis in the country. I will still appeal to JAMB find away to include established business services centres in the UTME registration, this will go a long in ameliorating the worsen employment problem.in the country.
What about people whose NIN has been registered as a user… What’s their fate? Cuz d conversion process from user to candidate failed
The registrar should please reconsider the starting date due to the insecurity in some part of the states because the insecurity is nothing to write home about for the safety of the candidates.thanks
My sister was among the candidate that wrote exam ,but her finger print didn’t work they promised to call her back for the exam…..Till now we haven’t seen any massage yet
The Jamb registrar should not shift anything,
What about those who that have registered and have their NIN verified,
Pls we are all fully prepared
you are prepared? please think about other people. if they can conduct another JAMB within August, it would be of great relief to Nigerians. my Jamb has a very big complicated issue that I
can’t even type, please the Registrar, reconsider the Jamb closing date. Thanks and remain blessed
Stonehearted
This is how you will pass
The Jamb registrar should not shift anything,
What about those who that have registered and have their NIN verified,
Pls we are all fully prepared
You are hartless
you can’t even spell heartless and you are planning on writing JAMB. too bad.
Shy u understand what she mean then why telling her dat she can’t Even spell heartless
You are starting a sentence with small caps yet, you are insulting another person.
Please I paid my jamb form and I did my thumb print that was on July 1st thereabout so they say that another date will be released for us that we should be checking our centre online which u have been doing and it is not coming up it is saying my details is not found for this examination I don’t know why
But they assured us of writing jamb this year I don’t understand
Conducting another jamb registration this year is not a bad idea
My dear it will be the best for all jambites in other to measure up. I personally had issues when I wrote my own and I believe that resulted to my very poor jamb score. It pains me because I prepared well for this exam and I don’t want to spend another year at home or go to polythecnic or college of education.
is not a bad idea but I will like yo come up with this little suggestion
May be they can grant some marks for the student that score below 170
Thanks
you are welcome.
Bro/Sis you really have to consider others eveven when you’hv registered.so literally do not know where to start from cause of the issue of profile code nd nin.I can only suggest the prosponement of the nin stuff for now at least to curb the problem of registration.
I was among the people that had a problem at fadan kagoma institution would I still write it

They should consider shifting the starting date due to the issues the country is facing
Please I spend almost 3500 because of getting profile code

The worst jamb ever,the result is very poor,i cant imagine myself having 153 this year.

I think the Jamb board should organize another starting date for the UTME exam for those that didn’t perform well and for those that didn’t write the first exam due to some challenges
Pls Sir. Will U Give A Chance For This Late Entering, Please.
Cause We Are The Late Entering,So Please Give Us Chance This July, For Us To Reprint, Please.
