He said, “This applies to only candidates who had initiated registration processes and have paid and procured the registration epins but could not register at the close of sales. Take note that candidates are not to generate any profile codes (55019) for the purpose of 2018 UTME registration as doing so would have no effect and a waste of time and resources. Profile codes generation through 55019 will only be used for Direct Entry Registration which is still ongoing”.

JAMB extended the registration deadline to accommodate more candidates

JAMB had on Tuesday, February 6, extended the registration for the 2018 UTME by one week.

The Board said the registration was extended to accommodate candidates who have not registered.
