JAMB: The Minister Of Education Finally Reveal Compulsory Requirement For 2021 UTME Registration
~3.0 mins read
The minister of education in Nigeria, Mallam Adamu Adamu has made a serious declaration regarding the requirement for 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration.

As prospective candidates of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) look forward to writing their examination, they should be aware of some mandatory requirements that are specified for them to be eligible for the examination's registration.

Prospective candidates should be aware of the fact that the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) form is not on sale yet. According to the conversation made with the JAMB support team, the 2021 UTME registration form has not been released for sale. Candidates should be on the lookout for the examination's registration form.

However, there are preconditions to be met before candidates can be eligible for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration. Among these preconditions is the National Identification Number (NIN). The National Identification Number (NIN) is eleven unique numbers which are assigned to an individual for his/her identification as a Nigeria citizen.

Nevertheless, the minister of education, Mallam Adamu Adamu had emphasised that it is mandatory on all the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) prospective candidates to obtain their National Identification Number (NIN) to be eligible for the examination's registration.
“the use of the National Identity Number (NIN) for JAMB registration by candidates is now a government policy.
“JAMB is working closely with the National Identity Management Commission, to ensure the sustainability of this policy and eliminate multiple registrations,†he maintained.
We can recall that this policy was made obligatory on the 2020 UTME candidates as well but it was later refuted by the government as many candidates cannot get their National Identification Number (NIN) before the time of the examination's registration.
Candidates should not think they would defy the government's decision because they may not implement the use of the NIN during their registration as last year's UTME candidates'. Candidates should endeavour to obtain their National Identification Number (NIN) before the time of their examination's registration to avoid anything that may nullify their registration and waste their time.

Candidates should visit the nearest NIMC office to enrol for their National Identification Number (NIN) because the probability that the board will implement the use of the National Identification Number (NIN) in the 2021 UTME registration is one. We can see the government threatening other citizens who are not candidates and candidates that their SIM cards will be blocked if they refuse to submit their NIN to their service providers.
Many candidates had opposed the use of the National Identification Number (NIN) in the course of their registration for the examination but the government had insisted on implementing the NIN to avert multiple registrations by candidates of the examination.
Do you think NIN is necessary for the examination's registration? Do you think it can prevent multiple registrations by a candidate?

Scholarship Duration and Reward
Criteria
Our Scholars come from diverse backgrounds and each brings something unique to the programme. We use four criteria to select them.
Academic excellence
To be competitive for a Gates Cambridge Scholarship candidates must show evidence of academic excellence (through their transcripts, references, experience and the potential to succeed on the chosen course). Academic departments at the University of Cambridge nominate only the most academically outstanding applicants for a Gates Cambridge Scholarship, which ensures that those whom we select will thrive at Cambridge.
Reasons for choice of course
You should be able to make a strong case for a particular postgraduate degree at Cambridge. PhD applicants (and most research MPhil applicants) will need to make contact with a potential supervisor with whom they will develop a research project, a summary of which is part of the application. You will need to demonstrate that you have the academic background and the necessary skills and expertise to complete the course. Taught MPhil and other applicants need to make a strong case for how completing the proposed course will facilitate their career plans. Gates Cambridge seeks Scholars who will have an academically transformative experience at Cambridge, so it is important that you fully research and justify the course for which you are applying.
A commitment to improving the lives of others
A defining characteristic of the Gates Cambridge programme is the commitment of our Scholars to improving the lives of others. We interpret this criterion broadly and applicants define it themselves by providing evidence of their past, current and future commitment to the societies in which they will live and work.
