The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Monday, disclosed that the application form for next UTME would be available for purchase from August 31.
A statement by the board’s Head of Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, also stated that the selling of the registration documents for the examination would end on January 19, 2016.
The move is reportedly geared towards early preparation of prospective candidates for the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.
Prospective candidates were directed to purchase the examination scratch cards from Zenith Bank, Skye Bank and First Bank.
“The registration fee for the UTME is N5,000 and candidates are also to pay N500 to obtain the textbook, ‘The Last Days’ at Forcados High School.
“Candidates will, however, be issued the book at the point of registration after showing evidence of payment,” the statement said.
It stated that the registration period would run from August 31 to January 15, 2016.
According to the statement, the registration website will close on January 19, 2016. The unified tertiary matriculation examination is slated to commence on February 29 and end on March 14, 2016.
