Requirements for Jamb Registration 2022

The requirements for jamb registration 2022 are clearly stated in the weekly jamb bulletin, one of which is the national identification number (NIN)

The management of the jamb bulletin, which is chaired by the Head, Media and Public Relations of the Board, Fabian Benjamin, gave credit to the recent partnership between the Board and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

“The partnership between the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) is yielding desired results as the process which, by all indications, was deemed impracticable in 2019 and had to be shelved, was re-introduced in 2020 with little hitches, but has become seamless in all ramifications in 2021 and now improved in 2022,” the bulletin stated.

General Entry Requirements by JAMB

The general entry requirements for admission into the First Degree, National Diploma (ND), National Innovation Diploma (NID) and Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) programmes are five (5) O’level credit passes including English Language.

Registration for DE candidates shall not be extended beyond the period alloted to both UTME/DE

CAVEAT:

CANDIDATES SHOULD NOT APPLY FOR UTME AND DE AT THE SAME TIME. IF ANY CANDIDATE APPLIES THROUGH UTME AND LATER OBTAINS HIGHER QUALIFICATION, THE UTME CAN BE UPGRADED TO DE AT NO COST. Indeed it is a sanctionable infraction to obtain two application documents in the same year. Double/multiple registrations attract outright cancellation and prosecution.

Candidates are not permitted to register more than once. In the event of any error during jamb registration process, such candidates are to seek correction from the Board and not to obtain a fresh application as doing so would attract sanction.
