JAMB Introduces ‘Know Your Registration Officer’ Feature In UTME Registration

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the introduction of a new feature in the ongoing registration for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The examination body issued a statement on Thursday by its Head of Media and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin, which said the feature, ‘Know Your Registration Officer,’ aims to fortify the registration process.

According to Benjamin, the new feature will guard candidates against abuse and manipulation.

He noted that candidates who are applying for the 2021 UTME, which is due to close on 15th May 2021 are advised to immediately raise an alarm the moment they find out that the picture on the screen does not match the face of the person registering them.

The statement read in part “To further fortify the registration process and ensure that candidates know where and who is registering them for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination Board( UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) exercise, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has made provisions for the image of the Registration Officer to be displayed at the corner of the screen being used to register the candidate besides his biometric details that had been captured.”
