It should be noted that, generally, age 17 or 18 is the appropriate entry age into tertiary institutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile age 16 is only being tolerated, anything earlier is inimical to the overall developmental interest of the candidates, hence, we are charging parents to desist from incessant interfering in the candidates\u2019 choices of tertiary institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, JAMB advised against the use of postpaid lines or special bundle package to register for the UTME, stating that such packages has the potential to hinder the delivery of profile codes expected to be delivered to the candidates\u2019 registered SIMs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsequently, such requests to get profile codes using a SIM on a postpaid plan or any special package would only result in receiving error responses like \u2018insufficient credit\u2019, etc because, in the real sense, no money is on the SIM.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Board, therefore, urged parents, guardians and school proprietors to allow candidates handle the registration procedures by themselves and provisioning their wards\u2019 phones with a minimum of N50 direct airtime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has warned school proprietors against bulk registration of candidates for the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
