When will 2021 UTME registration commence?

It's the question on the lips of many students who plan on taking the 2021 Unified Tertiary matriculation examination. Below are the details we have gathered from trusted news sources as regards the commencement of the registration for the 2021 UTME.

 Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is yet to make official statement on the date for the 2021 UTME registration. Remember that unlike other past years which by this month the registrations were already concluded, this year is perculiar with the effects of the Covid -19 pandemic which has adversely distorted the normal flow of the academic calendar.

 However, the board urged the public not to pay attention to the Tweet put out by an account not managed by JAMB stating the date of the start of the registration which is misleading many.

The report of this was released by Punch newspaper, see below how Punch released the statement

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. 

This is to inform the public that no date has been fixed for 2021 UTME registration. Kindly disregard any tweet from a fake account that stated otherwise. The  public will be duly informed when the date is fixed. Thank you,” the examination board said.

Meanwhile, JAMB, on Sunday, set out June 15th, 2021 as deadline for admissions in the nation's tertiary institutions for the 2020/2021 academic session.
