When is the Jamb Examination Date
After the organization’s management meeting held on Tuesday, 20th December 2023, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) released key dates for its activities in 2024.
Therefore, JAMB has stated the registration period for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Subsequently, the jamb registration, including foreign candidates, is to start from Monday, January 15, to Thursday, February 15, 2024.
Consequently, this does not include registration for Direct Entry (DE). However, application documents for DE registration would begin on Monday, February 19, and end April 2024.
As prospective students who want to gain admission this year, you should know exactly your UTME date. With this, you will plan and prepare accordingly.
The Jamb examination will be held from Friday, 19th April 2024, and end on Monday, 29th April 2024. Hence you are to start your Registration for the Next UTME as the date for registration is stated above
How Much is Jamb 2024 UTME Form
The cost of the JAMB registration form for 2024 is N7,700, inclusive of a mock examination, and N6,200 for UTME registration without the mock examination.
However, this is not the only amount you will pay. However, you will need to pay additional fees to get the registration form and complete other procedures.
The other fee may be 0ne thousand naira (or less) for the registration depending on the cyber cafe you go to. Therefore, the entire cost of the JAMB UTME registration form added with the registration fee may be approximately N8700 or below. However, this is not static if we include other charges like the mock fee and CBT-accredited center fees.
Meanwhile, candidates who have an interest in writing the Mock examination that will be set by Jamb will pay a service fee of one thousand five hundred naira (N1500) only.
Therefore, if you have an interest in writing the mock examination you will pay the amount mentioned above at the time of registration.
Thus, this is done to prevent a situation in which candidates indicate an interest in sitting for the mock UTME. Thereby, causing the various accredited centers to delegate human and material resources towards this course. Afterward, only to have the candidates fail to appear on the day of the examination.
With the new condition, candidates show their desire by paying for the mock exam at the point of UTME registration. In this situation, it prevents centers from suffering losses regardless of whether candidates attend the mock examination or not.
