The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says that eligible candidates for its 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now purchase the pin for registration using the Remita mode.
The board on Sunday said the development came on the heels of the reported challenges the candidates faced in an attempt to acquire the pins from NIPOST and the designated banks.

The Head of Information of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said the board had noted the many headaches of prospective candidates from various parts of the country, including Lagos.
He said that candidates had lamented the difficulties involved in obtaining the pins from designated banks on the payment of N5,500 and the subsequent hassles in getting registered.
The registration of candidates for the examination started on March 20.
The candidates had described the process as cumbersome and frustrating as they have to queue as early as 2 or 3 a.m. in some cases in banks just to acquire pins.
They had also said that often times, they spent the entire day waiting endlessly without results as the bank officials tell them that they could not access the site for the pins.
They also said the development normally warranted them to spend almost an entire week trying and that even when they succeeded, they start facing the task of registration at overcrowded centres.
According to Benjamin, candidates are advised not to panic as every eligible candidate desirous of registering will do so before the closing date of April 19.

“We appreciate the fact that the sales of the UTME for 2017 which is hitherto set to last for six has been reduced to one month.
“This was done in the interest of the candidates as it was to ensure that the challenges candidates are going through are resolved.
“To further cushion the effect of these challenges, we have decided to bring the Remitta mode on board.
“Candidates can now purchase the pin for registration from the comfort of their homes.

“So, aside the banks and NIPOST, candidates can now purchase the pins through Remita,’’ Benjamin said in a statement.
The statement explained why the board banned cyber cafes from registering candidates for the examination, noting that activities in the cafes damaged records and statistics of candidates.
“In as much as we want to be inclusive, we cannot look the other way while students’ records and national statistics are mutilated.
“Ours is an examination, so we cannot be guided by primordial consideration over quality and standard,’’ it said.
According to the statement, most problems associated with candidates’ registration such as wrong spellings of names, wrongful placement of passport photograph and others emanates from the business centres at registration points.
“Don’t forget, it is virtually impossible to regulate the activities of these business centres as their mode of operations did not provide necessary details about them.

“These problems created by cafes make information gathering, processing and administration of examination cumbersome as records and data of candidates are distorted.
“The accreditation centres are on the board’s website for easy identification cohesion and smooth operation,’’ it explained.
He added that the board would continue to expand the frontiers and channels of the sales of the pins in virtually all the banks, with a view to bringing the services to the door step of every Nigerian child desirous of qualitative tertiary education.
According to the statement, examination is a serious business and it cannot be left open the way some people want it to be.
“We again urge Nigerians particularly anxious candidates not to fall prey to unsuspecting and dubious individuals who parade themselves as agents of JAMB with the intention to defraud them.
“The board’s e-brochures and syllabus are on the CD to be given out to candidates and it is free and available as a guide to candidates to have a hitch-free registration exercise,’’ the statement said.

Na wa o! This year's Jamb is something else o!

Jamb and their wahala re lyk 5^6

Smh, that's what fits those kids of today

This Man is trying to Break Dibu's record, I pray he doesn't destroy Jamb in d process.
Goodluck Jambites

Crazy people, this is what they could have done a long time ago.
Give people the opportunity to register on their website then head over CBT centres for biometric verification.
Simple planning​ they can't do.

The God forsaken country is at it again.
Registering exams to them should be rocket science which they can't get right over the decade.
New Year new rules

Remote interested

Nonesense and corrupt people. They were using Quickteller then Remita for change of course and other sundries. Now to sell Jamb form, they are using banks so that some people can make money from it.

Must Jamb create cumbersome every year for the candidates... what I hard in buying form? They measured every year.. they have issues..

Honestly, this year jamb is something u can not tell. Imagine in the whole of FCT only 9 center is approved to register and candidate is much. I know what I suffered b4 I can be able to register mine

Imagine queueing up as early as 2a.m for pins, endangering the lives of many!

Good one! Sometimes, these banks make things difficult deliberately to frustrate people, since the implementation of Remita by government, the banks are not happy. I could remember being frustrated several times trying to pay one thing or the other in to Remita by the banks, just to get their teller. Thank God, now, I no longer go in to any bank for Remita payment. I do it from the comfort of my home, and the receipt is emailed to me.

Honestly,l don't know why it is complex for JAMB to accept that their strategy failed.

This new Jamb registrar is a failure. Imagine all this allegations against Cafe operators in this century?

Please put your house in order.

Thanks to some of the posters above for their nice suggestions

JAMB is trying to get things right, so please be patient with them. They want to implement " if you no read well well you go fail".

Cool

Can't also imagine this epic failure

What you don't know is that REMITA remits directly to TSA after deducting their service charge
