The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the the date for the 2015 UTME Computer Based Test (CBT).
Fabian Benjamin, Joint Administration Matriculation Board's public relations officer, announced that it will be on Wednesday, the 4th of March, 2015.
He said about 1.4 million candidates will be sitting the CBT nationwide.
It will be recalled that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned prospective candidates in the forthcoming Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Nasarawa State to desist from registering at cyber-cafes as most of the operators are fraudulent.
Meanwhile, according to the JAMB Spokesman, the Board has also introduced a regulated registration format where only CBT centres and state offices nationwide are authorised to register candidates.
He said the registration period will last between Monday, September 15, 2014, and Thursday January 15, 2015, while the website closes Monday, January 19, 2015. Benjamin stated that, in addition to the registration fee, candidates will be expected to pay an additional N500 for a copy of the newly introduced textbook, The Last Days at Forcados High School, adding that the Board has made arrangements to provide the book to ensure availability and avoid piracy, and that the textbooks will be issued at the point of registration.
