The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said 700,000 candidates have so far been registered for the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) nationwide in two weeks. In addition, the CBT centres where the candidates register have been directed not to charge anything above N700 as their service charge,’’ Benjamin said. He said this was to serve as a guide against candidates exposing their personal data to fraudsters. “In view of the above, the Board wishes to reiterate that pin vending should be done directly to individual candidates and should be done online through the pin vending platform and not offline. “There should be no bulk purchase of pins by candidates or secondary schools as is being done by some elite schools.
