The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board JAMB says it has not commenced the sale of the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) application forms.
A statement by the Head of information JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin stated that for the avoidance of doubt, any information in circulation purporting to have emanated from the Board to the effect that the sale of the 2022 UTME and DE forms has commenced is not only fraudulent but is a calculated attempt by mischief makers to create unnecessary panic among prospective candidates for their own selfish ends.
The statement notes that the commencement of the sale of the Board’s application documents in any given year has never been shrouded in mystery rather it is always a well-publicised undertaking in the print media as well as online and electronic platforms.
It explains that although the Board has concluded all arrangements to commence the sale of the 2022 UTME/DE Application Documents in due course, it is yet to fix any date for its commencement.
The general public is, therefore, urged to be mindful of speculators who are in the habit of second-guessing the Board on certain procedural issues with the aim of defrauding helpless candidates.
The Board wishes to inform the general public that they would be sufficiently informed of the commencement of the sale of e-PINs once approval has been granted by relevant authorities.
Furthermore, the announcement of a suitable date to commence the sale would be accompanied by well-defined information on the procedures for the purchase of the e-pins, creating a profile, and where to go for biometric capturing, among other essential details.
