JAMB announces that the 2017 UTME to hold in May


The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) have announced that the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will hold in May 2017.

Mr. Fabian Benjamin JAMB spokesperson, made this know through the Board’s Twitter handle @jambhq

Mr Fabian stated that candidates should be patient as the actual dates will be soon be announced. He also advised that candidates should be beware of false dates, forms and fraudsters as some forms were sold earlier this year but the culprits have been arrested.

Meanwhile, JAMB registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede has explained why an unusual delay has preceded the sales of application forms.

Oloyede said: “We are changing the major trust of the sale which is the scratch card. Candidates used to buy scratch cards to access the forms online and that has been abused thoroughly.

“What we want to do is for students to pay directly to government coffers and we are working out the process of doing so to avoid the type of abuse that it has been subjected to. So, we want to sell directly and to make sure that candidates pay into TSA account.”
