The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced an increase in the registration fee for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The examination body disclosed this development in a statement released on Monday.
According to the statement, the board has approved a fee of seven thousand, seven hundred naira (N7,700) for both the UTME and the mock examination. For candidates who opt to take the examination without participating in the mock trial, the fee has been set at six thousand, two hundred naira (N6,200).
As reported by Prime 9ja Online, the cost of the JAMB form without a mock exam was N5,700 in 2023, while the application form inclusive of a mock exam was priced at N6,700.
In addition to the revised fees for local candidates, the board also announced that application documents for foreign candidates will now be available for $30. This move is part of JAMB's ongoing efforts to streamline its processes and ensure a smooth examination experience for all candidates.
