The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board<\/a><\/strong> (JAMB) announced this in its weekly bulletin released on Monday by its Head of Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin.<\/p>\n

It explained that the development was in its bid to leverage the digital competency of the increasing number of computer-savvy candidates. JAMB is hopeful that the newly introduced system would, in the long run, reduce the crowds at the Computer Based Test <\/a><\/strong>(CBT) in the two cities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conception of this noble idea is to, besides advancing the digital competence of candidates who feel they can do the registration on their own, expand the registration access points in line with COVID-19 protocols,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe service provider, Bankfort, expressed optimism about the immense potential of the seamless registration mode, stating that it is the norm rather than the exception in more developed climes.\u201d<\/p>\n

JAMB Registration New Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

The board also announced the adoption of \u201866019\u2019 as an additional and optional USSD code besides the \u201855019\u2019 code that had been in operation since 2018, for UTME\/DE registration and other essential services.<\/p>\n

It explained that the initiative was to facilitate a hitch-free 2022 UTME\/DE registration exercise<\/a><\/strong> by ensuring that was no difficulty whatsoever in the creation of profiles by candidates, especially in a situation whereby many of them would send requests via one USSD code.<\/p>\n

According to JAMB, prospective candidates for the 2022\/23 UTME\/DE are to use both codes to create their profiles for registration.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs usual, candidates are required to send their National Identification Number <\/a><\/strong>(NIN) via either of these USSD codes for their details to be pulled from the NIMC database before they proceed to any accredited centre for biometric capturing,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

The board had hinted that it was perfecting arrangements aimed at adopting an additional USSD code, in its efforts to eliminate all bottlenecks associated with the creation of profiles.<\/p>\n

The WhatsApp number<\/a><\/strong> is, however, yet to be released by the board.<\/p>\n
