Jamb Rules Out Extension Of Utme Forms Sale by specialiss: 2:49pm On Jan 24, 2012
JOINT Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has ruled out any extension of the sale of forms for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) billed to hold on March 24.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the board, Mr. Timothy Oyedeji, ruled out the extension in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.

Oyedeji made the position known against the backdrop of calls for the extension of the sale of the forms because of the six days nationwide strike by organised labour. 

The strike, which ended on Jan. 16, was in protest against the removal of petrol subsidy by the Federal Government.

‘Already, plans are in top gear to ensure that the conduct of the examination is successful.

‘Most of the logistics required are already on ground and all we are appealing for now is for our prospective candidates to take their studies seriously and get themselves well prepared’, he said.

The PRO pleaded with parents and guardians to closely monitor the activities of their children and wards, especially during the online registration, to avoid errors.

‘I want to appeal to parents to ensure that their children and wards pay attention while uploading their data during online registration.

‘Again, I will like to emphasise the need for these candidates to be patient enough to painstakingly go through the instructions before attempting any question during the examination.

Statistics have shown that Jamb will be extended because most of the centres have not been filled as expected. 

For example, there are four centres to be used in Ijebu Ode which houses candidate from Epe and Ijebu.  Only one centre has been used and not filled yet. And those who are always in the forefront of the registrations are yet to register any good number of candidates in the federation.

1. Due to the fact, that, the candidates are yet to see the centres they which to be assigned to.
2. There is low in turn out of students.
3. There is low money in circulation.
4. Due to accreditation.
5. Jamb online registration problem and congestion.
6. Jamb is yet to realised their budgeted candidates because we are talking about money here.
7. The registrar is going and he had only short time left to go and conduct the exams, there must be ghana must go, u know na

Due to the fact out listed above, JAMB is expected to elongate the deadline for registration.

Let just relax and see what the out comes will be.  Has I had predicated that petrol will be sold for N100 and now it is sold for N97 naira. Remember there is no coins in circulation. Let just wait and see the JAMB doing their thing.

I will later talk about the conspiracy theory.

@specialiss, the text in front of the new scratch cards at the lower right hand corner states that "Please note that this Card CANNOT be used after 11th March 2012". This looks like a new date, different from the Feb. 2nd earlier indicated on the older cards. Is March 11th 2012 the closing date for registration of candidates? Please help to confirm. They've been selling these cards for some time now.

That indicates that Jamb can be extended till march, if budgted candidates did not turn up. Right now the jamb website is full of problem. It might be shifted to march. Another problem, a candidate yesterday her jamb scratch card did not work saying 'invalid authorisation.' Her card carrying march date could not be used on jamb site. She bought from a man at the jamb office for 8k
Re: Jamb Rules Out Extension Of Utme Forms Sale by dregmaster: 9:33pm On Feb 01, 2012
It is very likely that it will be extended. They must have extension in mind since they change the former card to this new one with a new date. Just my opinion.

Read the conspiracy here https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-815473.96.html#msg10099141  and why it will be extended.

Yea, the dough is really important. This is just a business venture and profit must be maximized. It does not matter to them the pains people are passing through just to carry out a simple registration. The end company is actually upperlink and the end Admin is Ireti. Can we then say that Ireti is actually the lady(probably) to be bombarded with queries? Her phone number is 08057417825. Upperlink- info@upperlink.com.ng.
Imagine the website is indicating server unavailable at 6.00 am in the morning. When would it ever be available?
Re: Jamb Rules Out Extension Of Utme Forms Sale by specialiss: 7:27am On Feb 02, 2012
Should I say another ploy by the ICT company to make jamb extend the registration and come up with more license to sell or Jamb is self because of new scratch card of March 15, 2012. 

Everyone is just making money in respective of the candidate or the online registration centres.

Everyone should just start counting their loss until jamb says we have extended the registration date till March 15 because of traffic, contingency they cant explain or the truth the 'service is Unavailable' Or jamb has been closed since January 31st.

Re: Jamb Rules Out Extension Of Utme Forms Sale by dregmaster: 9:17am On Feb 02, 2012
9am, still 'server unavailable' and everyone is in a rush to register because today is expected to be the last day for registration. There is even no official record of the closing date anywhere except the one on the scratch card (they even use the tiniest of prints to do this so that nobody would notice it). What is the game plan JAMB? This is frustration at the extreme. Nigeria where nothing is expected to work, even ICT proffs are compromised.

I hope they extend the deadline anyway.

If you are writing Biology in this coming JAMB(UTME). You need to read Explicit Biology. I wish you all success.


The monograph “Explicit Biology: A Revision Course” for UTME, POST-UTME and other related examinations written by O.J. Olaoye is a complementary text to the various textbooks that have been written in the subject area. The book has five sections and twenty seven chapters on all the biology topics.
This book has become timely in view of the poor results that are being witnessed in the UTME examination especially in the sciences and mathematics, biology inclusive. These majorly are due to poor or inadequate access to good study materials.
Each chapter has annotated topics followed by copious specimen questions on some past UTME and POST–UTME examination, for practice and emphasis. The topics in each chapter are adequately treated and with clarity. The illustrations are simple but effective.
The author has done a lot of work and put in efforts to come out with a very readable and useful text. It is highly recommended to all the students aspiring to undertake the UTME and POST-UTME examination, in order to improve highly their chances of success.

May I also point out two projects I am involved with: The African Virtual School is an online Maths/English revision site for Jamb (http://www,africanvirtualschool.com ). For Maths, we have a book on Amazon (just search for the African Virtual School Maths Book).

Also, to help with English, we have a completely free site called Essay Practice (www.essaypractice.co.uk ). Submit your essays and receive feedback from the community.

To your success.
