These e-PINs cover various charges, including application fees, CBT centre charges, examination service charges, and bank charges. Candidates must specify the type of e-PIN required during purchase as refunds won’t be processed.

Eligibility Checker

General Entry Requirements
For admission into First Degree, ND, NID, and NCE programs at 100 level (Year one), candidates must possess five O’level credit passes, including English Language. Mathematics is also required for Law, Science-based, and Social Science programs.
Direct Entry Requirements
In addition to five O’level credit passes, candidates applying for Direct Entry must meet specific requirements outlined. These include various qualifications such as University Degrees, Diplomas, IJMB, JUPEB, among others. It’s necessary to directly verify presented awards with the awarding institutions before admission.
The registration process for DE candidates entails providing detailed information such as registration/matriculation number, subjects of qualification, awarding institution, and institution actually attended. Candidates not awaiting results must upload their qualifications and other relevant documents at the registration stage.
Additional Registration Rules
Candidates are strictly prohibited from registering more than once. Registration can only be completed at JAMB-approved centers. It’s crucial to safeguard personal login credentials, and no third-party transactions are permitted on any candidate’s profile.
Order of Choice of Institutions
Candidates have the flexibility to select their first choice from various institutions such as Colleges of Education, Universities, Polytechnics, Nigerian Defence Academy, or Police Academy.
Step-by-Step Registration Procedure for 2024 UTME/DE
The registration process involves several steps, starting with the creation of a candidate’s profile using a unique phone number. This includes sending the National Identification Number (NIN) via text message to obtain a Profile Code, procuring the e-PIN, and completing the registration at an accredited CBT center.
Conclusion and Exam Details
The UTME exam for 2024 will run from Friday, April 19, 2024, to Monday, April 29, 2024, inclusive of nine foreign centers. Candidates are advised to familiarize themselves with the CBT environment by using the 2024 JAMB CBT software or the Mobile App, and joining related WhatsApp groups for discussions and inquiries.
Special Considerations
Candidates with disabilities like blindness, deafness, or other conditions are provided with specific options and assistance during the registration process. Additionally, candidates with biometric challenges are guided on a separate registration process.
Final Note on Exam Towns
Candidates should register on time to secure spaces in their chosen examination towns. It’s essential to note that JAMB does not assign candidates to examination towns other than the one chosen during registration. Hence, prompt registration is advised to ensure availability in preferred towns or groups of towns.
