JAMB UTME Registration Fees
For 2017
•
Another question we have received
a lot is about how much candidates
are expected to pay to register for
JAMB UTME. The 2017/2018
registration fee is ₦5,500
(confirmed). If you want this
broken down for you, the JAMB
scratch card is ₦5,000, while the
online registration itself is ₦700 and
N700 for the book.
The JAMB Fee of 5,500 Naira
includes Registration fees, Reading
text and all other Document
(Syllabus and Brochure).
So, now you know how much the
scratch card for JAMB registration is
(e-PIN), and how much the online
registration costs. In addition,
candidates are expected to
purchase the textbooks, titled “In
Dependence” by Sarah Ladipo
Manyika for UTME and “The Last
Days at Forcados High School” by
A.H. Mohammed for Direct Entry
Candidates.” As mentioned earlier,
it comes at a cost of Five Hundred
Naira (₦700.00) only.
Registration centers will collect
N700 for registration.
Where can you buy registration
scratch cards/form?
