The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has begun the sale of application forms into the nation's tertiary Institutions. The early sale of the application forms is to enable Nigerians desirous of tertiary education have access to the forms so that they could prepare ahead for the examination slated for April, 2014.
According to a statement issued in Abuja by JAMB's spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, the two modes of tests hitherto conducted by JAMB- the Paper and Pencil Test (PPT) and Computer Based Test (CBT) - are still opened to prospective candidates for the 2014 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Candidates across the globe who have successfully completed their secondary school education with a minimum of six (6) credits, including the English Language and Mathematics, are expected to obtain the forms at the designated banks and register with the approved cyber cafés across Nigeria and at the Nigeria High Commission Offices in Ghana, United Kingdom (UK), South Africa (SA), Cameroon, Jeddah and Biu. Candidates are urged to ensure that their data are well captured at the cyber cafés and their subject choices are accurately entered. The JAMB Registrar, Prof. 'Dibu Ojerinde, urged parents, guardians and café operators to ensure that candidates are well guided in the filling of the forms to avoid wrong filling and unwholesome practices that may affect their choices. The public is also urged to note that candidates will be tested on two general books to enhance their reading culture, irrespective of their courses. The books are The Successor by Jerry Agada and Potter's Wheel by Chukwuemeka Ike.
