The registration period for the 2023 UTME starts on January 14.

The start of registration for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations, or UTME, has been announced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, or JAMB, for January 14, 2023.

The board announced that the 2023 session’s Direct Entry, DE, exercise will run from February 20 to April 20, 2023.

The choices were made at the conclusion of the JAMB management meeting conducted yesterday, according to the organization’s spokesman Dr. Fabian Benjamin.

Fabian stated:

“The Board has given its approval for registration to begin for the UTME in 2023 on January 14 and run until February 14, 2023.

Nevertheless, he added, “This does not cover registration for Direct Entry application documents as the DE registration would begin from February 20 to April 20, 2023.”

He added:

“Candidates are to note that they would be required to pay the sum of N1,000 service charge for CBT centres for the conduct of mock examination at the point of registration, so as to prevent a situation where candidates would indicate their interest to sit the mock-UTME leading the various centres to commit human and material resources only for them to stay away on the day of the examination.

“Under the new plan, candidates will express interest by paying for the mock exam at the time of UTME registration, preventing the centers from suffering a loss whether or not candidates show up.

“Also, the Board set April 29, 2023, for the conduct of the 2023 UTME, which is anticipated to end on May 12, 2023, after taking into account its other commitments.

The board recommends all candidates who wish to register for the 2023 UTME to start creating their individual profiles as soon as possible (creation of profile code) before the official start of the registration operation to prevent getting trapped in any ensuing congestion.
