Saturday, 15 May 2021: The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has extended the deadline for the ongoing 2021 UTME/DE registration exercise by two weeks.

Prof Ishaq Oloyede, JAMB Registrar, who announced the extension said the exam will now start on the 19th of June 2021 and end on the 3rd of July.

He also revealed that the registration exercise will now end on May 29.

This comes after the JAMB Board earlier announced it’s contemplating an extension to the registration period and change of date for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
