JAMB introduces self-registration for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation and Direct Entry exams

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) announced that the 2022 jamb registration has started. This was made known on their website with a headline reading “JAMB has started the sale of 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation and Direct Entry Exams application forms”. The registration started on 19th February 2022 and will end on the 26th of March of the same year.

This year, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board introduced self-registration for candidates. This was announced earlier in their weekly publication on their website. The director of public relations, Dr, Fabian Benjamin said the idea behind self-registration was to make it easier and less stressful for candidates to carry out the registration exercise.

In his words, he said,” why we consider this noble idea is to, besides other things, improve the digital prowess of the candidates, and expand the registration access point in line with Covid-19 protocol”.

They also announced the addition of an Optional Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) code ‘66019’, asides from the ‘55019’ code that has been in use. This is to ensure that there will not be hitches during the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board Examination registration.

The candidates will send their National  Identity Number (NIN) to any of the codes above to get the required information to continue their registration.
