The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board has issued new directives to those who would like to apply for part-time and sandwich programs in tertiary institutions.
JAMB, which conducts the Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME), said candidates applying to the National Open University (NOUN) must also follow the new directive.

According to the board, all such applications must now be done through the applicant's profile linked to their NIN.
The body provided its already-known sort codes for all applicants for NOUN, sandwich programs, and part-time studies to send their NIN.
JAMB noted:
"Candidates desiring to access any of functionality of the Board's sort codes (55019 or 66019) by sending their NIN through their unique phone number to either of these sort codes. Therefore, all candidates, who desire to undertake Part-time, Sandwich, National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) students, and other related programmes as required by law to be registered by the Board must do so by first typing ''NIN'' then the NIN itself, for instance, (NIN xxxxxxxxxxxxx) and send to 55019 or 66019 as done by the regular candidates, who register for the UTME."
JAMB shared a bulletin containing the new information on X where it is generating reactions from Nigerians.
Those who reacted are more concerned about the just-released UTME results. Some asked the body to post it on its portal.
JAMB had already said no UTME result would be posted on the portal, insisting it must be accessed through SMS.

University graduate goes back to write JAMB
Meanwhile, a graduate of UNIZK Awka registered for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The candidate studied chemistry at the university but she wants to be a medical doctor which was why she registered for JAMB in 2024.
Her result has been made public, showing that she scored 324 in the UTME aggregate as she seeks to re-enter the university.
