HOW TO REGISTER JAMB UTME 2013/14 YOURSELF

Online registration for JAMB UTME is very simple, although a few complexities are involved. However, if you have some basic computer skills you will be able to register yourself with little difficulty. If you already know how to browse the internet using tools like Yahoo mail, Gmail, or Facebook, then registering for JAMB UTME will probably be a piece of cake for you. However, if you are not computer literate it may be quite challenging. But that does not mean you should give it out to a consultant to do for you. The fact is that you can register for JAMB UTME yourself.
However, the need for fingerprint scanner may create some difficulty. You have to probably look for a cyber cafe with fingerprint scanners. You can use such a cafe to signup for your UTME account. You can then logout and continue the registration yourself another time or you can complete it at the internet cafe. Note that the JAMB UTME registration portal requires that the Java Runtime Environment be installed on your computer.
Registering yourself for UTME 2012 online may be a great opportunity to become computer literate, so don’t miss it. If you must give out your Jamb UTME registration to another person, use a friend that is computer literate and learn from him/her.
Registering yourself for JAMB UTME may also be challenging because of slow internet connections at cyber cafes as well as the capacity of the JAMB UTME registration portal. We hope JAMB have taken care of the high level of load expected during this period. Some cyber cafes may block access to JAMB UTME e-registration portal from their cafe so that you pay them for your UTME registration. In such a situation, you are advised to look for a cyber cafe that does not offer JAMB UTME services. However, if it is impossible to register for Jamb UTME yourself, then you can give it out to a consultant or to the cyber cafe, but don’t just give out your Jamb UTME registration to a consultant without first trying to register yourself.
If you outsource your JAMB UTME registration to a consultant or cyber cafe, make sure you monitor him/her to ensure that your data is properly entered. Most people with registration problems in JAMB UTME are usually those who give it out to consultants without proper monitoring. If you find the JAMB UTME portal too slow try on Sundays or at Night when traffic is minimal.
If you have your own internet connection, you can always access the JAMB UTME portal at anytime.

Note about the fingerprint scanner:
JAMB UTME 2012 registration requires fingerprint scan. Fingerprint derived from the registration process may be used for gaining access to examination hall on examination date. If this the case, prospective candidates for JAMB UTME 2012, should take it very serious. Make sure your left and right thumb fingerprint are carefully scanned to avoid surprises and disappointments on UTME 2012 examination date. Make sure the biometric scanner and your hands are clean when taking the scan.

JAMB Begins UTME 2013/2014 Registration

Registration for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME 2013/2014 admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria has started.
JAMB UTME scratch card for accessing the e-registration portal for JAMB UTME 2013 is now available at designated banks, NIPOST offices and JAMB offices nationwide. The date for JAMB UTME exam 2013 has not been fixed yet by the board.
JAMB/UTME e-registration portal is at www.jamb.org.ng/Unifiedtme2013/. To access the JAMB/UTME portal for e-registration, you need a scratch card which is being sold for N4,000 at designated banks, Post offices and JAMB offices nationwide.
The JAMB UTME Scratch card contains a serial number and your PIN, two vital information you require for your UTME e-registration. UTME 2013 registration will also require a finger print scanner like in 2012. However, registration can only be done at accredited centres. Returning JAMB UTME 2012 candidates may not require fingerprint scanner, since their fingerprint is already in JAMB’s database, but they may need to provide their JAMB 2012 registration numbers.
JAMB has maintained the same process used in 2011 and 2012 UTME registration for 2013. JAMB/UTME 2013 registration, like in 2012, will require a biometric fingerprint scanner. The biometric scanner (finger print reader) will be used to capture the left and right thumbs of the candidates. Candidates are advised to make sure an approved fingerprint reader is available on the computer they intend using for their JAMB UTME 2013 registration as their finger print (left and right thumb) will be read before they can sign-up for a UTME account, which is the first step in the registration process.
Also like in 2012, JAMB UTME 2012 registration must be done on a computer with the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed. This is because the application that runs the Jamb UTME registration portal is based on Java programming language. Minimum of JRE 1.6 is required. Java JRE can be downloaded free on the internet, if it is not already on your system (about 10MB). Make sure to read the instructions at the registration website before commencing your registration. The JAMB UTME 2013 Brochure is built-into the portal making it easy to search for details of your Jamb UTME courses of choice.
