Post-UTME: Don’t charge above N,2000 as screening fee, JAMB tells institutions’ heads

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Saturday pegged the amount for post-UTME screening at N2,000.

The board, through its registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, made this known during the 2023 policy meeting ongoing at the National Judicial Institute in Abuja.

“Any institution interested in conducting any form of screening could do so, but the charge for the screening should not exceed N2,000 only.

“It is not allowed for any institution to make candidates directly or indirectly incur further related expenses on screening exercises, such as administrative and bank charges.

“ JAMB will provide for free, to all institutions access to photo images and fingerprint data of candidates, in order to curb the substitution of candidates who sat for the examinations.”
