The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced an increase registration fees for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The exam body on Monday said this new fee applies to both applicants opting for or bypassing the mock examination.In the revamped fee schedule, aspirants wishing to partake in the practice exam will now be required to pay N7,700, while those electing to skip the mock session will need to allocate N6,200.
This adjustment marks a slight increase from the previous fees of N6,700 for mock exams and N5,700 for non-mock examinations.While further details regarding these fees are expected to be unveiled by JAMB on or before January 15, 2024, the board has announced the registration window for Direct Entry (DE) applicants, slated to run from February 28 to March 28, 2024.
This provision enables graduates possessing advanced diploma qualifications to seek admission into tertiary institutions without the necessity of taking the UTME.Additionally, JAMB disclosed that the process of generating profile codes for registration is currently underway. The board assured aspiring candidates that guidelines for obtaining these codes will be issued closer to the registration launch date of January 15th.
In emphasizing the importance of staying updated with official announcements, JAMB urged prospective candidates to remain vigilant by regularly checking the board’s website and other communication channels for any new updates.
