Some candidates registering for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board have expressed satisfaction at the ease of the process of the exercise.
Some of the candidates spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
They said the registration had been seamless.
One of the candidates, Temiloluwa Erogbogbo, said the registration process was not difficult at all.
Erogbogbo said: “Once you can generate your code, you just buy your form and fill it out immediately.
“Usually, you can fill it from home.
“Like my sister, she did hers at home and has been sent her code from our house.
“But I am just getting mine because I am not very sure that I would register today or tomorrow, but I just got my code too.”
Also, her sister, Ebunoluwa Erogbogbo, who had initiated the registration process on Sunday, said they came to one of the JAMB-accredited centres to complete the registration process.
Another candidate, Adebisi Raheem, said though the registration process was not hard, he lamented having to sit for the UTME for the third time.
Raheem said: “The first one, I scored 200 plus as well as the second attempt.
“I wanted to study medicine but I have changed it to nursing owing to the cut-off mark.
“I have registered for this year already and it was easy.
“I paid N6,200 without mock but those registering and would like to do mock are paying N7,700.”
Speaking at the JAMB Ibadan Zonal Office, the Zonal Coordinator, Olugbenga Akintola, said the examination body had made adequate arrangements for a seamless registration process.
Akintola said that there had been no bombardment of the agency’s system, adding that some of the candidates had already bought their pin some days back.
…
He said that there had been no complaints from any centre as to any glitch in the registration process.
He conducted NAN’s reporter round the registration points right from where the pin would be purchased to checking of candidates’ information to uploading of their O’levels, payment and registration point manned by JAMB officials.
