The Joint Admissions and Enrollment Board, JAMB, has asked all potential candidates for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Enrollment Exams, UTME, to acquire their National Identification Numbers, NINs, prior to the exercise.
The board stated this Monday in its weekly bulletin published by the Registrar’s Office in Abuja.
JAMB said it would soon begin selling application documents and registration for UTME 2022 and Direct Entry, DE.
“The board, at this time, is engaging its top officials in a series of intensive training to ensure that once the date is announced, the stage would be set for another smooth exercise.
“The release of this information is in keeping with the firm determination of the board to ensure that candidates who wish to enroll are ready and prepared.
“Similarly, it is expected to serve as a wake-up call for all who want to register, to first obtain their NIN, an important prerequisite for UTME registration.
“For those who wish to obtain either application document, it is recommended that they obtain their NIN and also familiarize themselves with the board’s Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS).
“It will give you an idea of the course requirements and syllabus that you are expected to cover for the exam,” the board said.
According to JAMB, IBASS is on the board’s website and can also be downloaded from the Google Playstore and other similar platforms.
The board said the next step was for candidates to create their profiles by texting their NIN to 55019 to create a profile for registration.
JAMB added that it had put in place the appropriate measures to checkmate those who wanted to cheat.
He said he had also strengthened all administrative procedures for the smooth prosecution of any JAMB candidate, center or staff who have been involved in an infraction.
