THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board said yesterday it would end the sale of this year’s unified tertiary matriculation examination (UTME) forms today.

The board gave candidates, who desire to write this year’s examination to purchase the form before the close of work today.

Once closed, the board said the forms would not be available for purchase again.

The agency’s Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said this yesterday in a telephone interview in Abuja.

He, however, said the board has not taken decision on the deadline for registration of candidates for the examination.

“No extension for now. We have not closed registration. Candidates can register for now.

“We are supposed to close everything today. But we are salient on registration. We are closing sales of forms tomorrow (today). We are closing sales of form by 12 midnight tomorrow,” he said.

He added that 1.4 million candidates had so far registered for the examination, which would hold on March 7 across 649 computer-based test centres.
