The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has stated that students who had already gained admission into any tertiary institution will not be eligible to write the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
According to JAMB’s Head of Information and Public Relations, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, who made this known on Monday, students that are not satisfied with their course should apply for change of degree.
He said, “Students with matriculation numbers of universities are not eligible to sit for the UTME. If they are not satisfied with their chosen disciplines, they can ask for transfer.’’
The JAMB spokesperson also expressed confidence that despite the hitches in the registration process being witnessed across the country, all 1.5m candidates expected to register for the 2017 UTME would be registered by the May 5 deadline.
He reiterated that there would be no extension to the closing date of the 2017/2018 UTME registration.
Benjamin also said that the exam body have arrested 25 persons over illegal registration and sale of 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) materials.

All these are badaldash…. No be wetin them talk last year too…. and the previous years …
I am very disappointed with Nigeria and its education… The decision they take at times shocks me. Jamb please give me one reason why you had to mark matriculated candidates as ineligible??? In what ways have they stopped the fresher’s from gaining admission??? You decision on this is very weaking, its wickedness, selfishness and heartless. This matriculated candidates sitting for this year jamb exam has one or so many reasons for it. I wonder why you should punish us. And the worst of it is, this news came very late..! Jamb should have announced it even before the registration commenced. What now will happen to their future plans, money and time wasted? Jamb do not forget so fast that the majority of candidates who registered are matriculated students. Please try changing that policy because is not of the lord. Thanks
