Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has extended registration for the annual Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination by two weeks.
The UTME is a computer-based standardised examination for prospective undergraduates in Nigeria.
Daily Dates Nigeria recalled that JAMB had scheduled the UTME to hold between June 5 and 19 and now expected to hold from June 19 to July 3.
JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, had raised the possibility of the extension earlier on Friday during a virtual meeting with UTME committee members.
Oloyed had cited the inability of at least 600,000 candidates to register for the examination despite indicating interest as the reason for the extension.
