The Joint Admission and Matriculations Board (JAMB) says the registration for the 2024 Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) will commence on Monday, January 15, and end on February 24, 2024.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this known during a meeting with media executives in Lagos State on Sunday, January 14.
Oloyede assured interested candidates that measures have been put in place to ensure a smooth registration.
The JAMB boss stated that before the commencement of the registration exercise, the Board conducted an accreditation exercise to check the suitability of each CBT centre for the conduct of the examination.
He further listed the members of the accreditation team of the CBT centres for the 2024 UTME to include the Chief External Examiners (VCs/Rectors/Provosts), Technical Advisors, JAMB state coordinators, and JAMB Technical Officers.

According to JAMB, part of the procedures for the registration is that candidates are expected to create a profile through the National Identity Number (NIN) at various Computer-Based Test centres across the country.
To register, candidates are also expected to generate their profile with the use of either JAMB USS codes 55019 or 66019.
Oloyede, however, warned that “only one sort code is allowed to avoid multiple charges”.
This, he said, is compulsory for candidates, as a unique verification tool to thumbprint to end the registration exercise.
A document released by JAMB on Sunday revealed that the examination body accredited 747 CBT centres for the 2024 UTME across the country as against the 613 approved centres in 2023.
Lagos State tops the list of states with the highest number of accredited centres with 80, followed by Ogun State with 44, while Oyo State takes the third position with 42 centres.
Zamfara State has the lowest number of accredited centres with six, while both Ebonyi and Kebbi states have 8 centres each.
