JAMB has made an adjustment on the earlier date announced for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exam (UTME). According to the board, the 2022 exam earlier scheduled to hold between April 20th and 30th, 2022 will now hold from Friday, 6th May to Monday, 16th May 2022.

This was contained in the JAMB weekly bulletin. The board stated that the change is to accommodate some exigencies.

Similarly, the board revealed that the Mock-UTME exercise earlier scheduled for  2nd April 2022 would now be held on 16th  April 2022, for candidates who register early and indicate their willingness to sit the Mock-UTME. 

For all prospective candidates for the 2022 UTME, this is not an opportunity to soft-pedal on your preparation. The best time to start your preparation is now. If you are yet to download the JAMB CBT Mobile app and JAMB CBT software, do so now. The app will also give you instant notifications anytime there's an important update from JAMB.

The date for the commencement of sale of the 2022 UTME/DE application document which was slated to start from 12th February to 19th March 2022 remains the same.

JAMB equally disclosed that an additional USSD code will be made available apart from the already existing 55019 code that enables candidates to access some of the JAMB services like the creation of profile code for UTME/DE registration. This became necessary in order to ensure that there is no congestion during registration when many candidates would be sending their requests for profile code creation.
