The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has unveiled a new feature to assist candidates who are unable to recover lost SIM cards linked to their previous registrations.
Announcing the initiative on Thursday via X, JAMB confirmed that the feature is now available at all its Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide.
The examination body urged affected candidates to fill out a template provided at the centres to access the service for the upcoming 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) registration.
JAMB, however, clarified that the SIM swap option remains unavailable.
“Good news for those who cannot retrieve their previously used but lost SIM cards. A feature is now available at all CBT centres to address your case. Kindly fill the template to access this service for the upcoming UTME/DE registration. Note that SIM SWAP is still not available,” the statement read.
The announcement comes just days before the commencement of UTME registration on Friday, January 31, which will run until Saturday, March 8, 2025. Direct Entry (DE) registration will begin on Monday, March 10, and end on Monday, April 7, 2025.
JAMB also released the cost breakdown for the 2025 UTME/DE registration as follows:
- UTME with Mock: ₦8,700
- UTME without Mock: ₦7,200
- Mock Trial Testing for Future Candidates: ₦3,500
