The 2020 UTME candidates are eager to register for the forthcoming JAMB UTME examination for the 2020/21 examination. Prior to the registration, JAMB registrar, Professor Ishaq disclosed that all candidates must have their National Identity Number (NIN) for the registration. This made it extremely difficult for candidates without the NIN to register for the examination.
However, after noticing the discomfort and how difficult it is to obtain the NIN in Nigeria, JAMB Suspends National Identification Number (NIN) As Requirement For UTME 2020, and this decision earned the board praises from parents, guardians, candidates, and well-meaning Nigerians.
However, one major reason why candidates are experiencing delay in their registration, is that you don’t know what is expected of you. Once you know what is required of you, and do it before going to the JAMB accredited registration centers, your registration will be smooth and easy.
For instance, there was an issue when a friend disclosed to us that several candidates, on getting to the registration centers, asked the operators to help them choose the course and institution of choice or determine the right UTME/O’level subject requirements. Please note that before going to register for jamb, you MUST have known your subject combination.
To ensure you have an easier, faster and stress-free UTME registration, here are eight (8) free tips from Dailyschoolnews Nigeria.
