for a UTME account, which is d
first step in the registration

UTME 2012 registration must be
done on a computer with d
Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
installed. This is because the
application that runs the Jamb
UTME registration portal is based
on Java programming language.

Minimum of JRE 1.6 is required.
Java JRE can be downloaded free
on the internet, if it is not
already on your system (about
10MB). Make sure to read the
instructions at the registration

Registering for JAMB UTME 2012
Once u buy your JAMB UTME
scratch card, the next thing to

2011 e- registration portal.

The
UTME 2011 registration portal is
at www.jamb.org.ng/
Unifiedtme/. Make sure a finger
print reader is available on the
computer before commencing

absolutely new user (i.e. you did
not seat for JAMB UTME 2011),

PIN on your JAMB UTME 2012
scratch card and enter them in
the appropriate field in the Sign

button. If validation of your
JAMB UTME scratch card PIN and
serial number is successful, you
will then be required to scan
your left and right thumbs.

So,
make sure an approved
biometric fingerprint scanner is
connected to the system before
commencing registration. If you
registered for JAMB UTME 2011
(last JAMB), you can also add
your JAMB UTME 2011
registration number in the UTME
2011 Reg No. (if Available) field
and then click the signin button.

The JAMB UTME portal will
automatically fetch some of
your registration details for
JAMB UTME 2011, making things
easier. It is not clear whether
fingerprint scanner will still be
required for candidates who sat
for last year's JAMB, since their
fingerprint is still in the system.

So, make sure an approved
biometric fingerprint scanner is
connected to the system before
commencing registration. The
registration page will load for
you to commence your JAMB
UTME 2012 registration. At this
point, you can either logout or
continue your registration. If
you choose to log-out, you can
continue your JAMB UTME 2012
registration by logging in to the
portal at anytime. Note that you
will be required complete your
JAMB UTME registration within
21 days of your first login .

Note
that subsequent visits to the
JAMB UTME portal will no-longer
require a fingerprint scanner,
but JRE will still be required on
the computer. Before registering
for JAMB UTME 2012, make sure
you have your information
ready. It is advisable to
download the JAMB UTME 2011
form template, print a hard copy
and fill in, then go online and fill
the online UTME registration
form. Make sure to go through
the online brochure at the portal
to be sure you enter the right
UTME subjects for your chosen
course. You should also have an
electronic copy of your passport
sized photo ready on your
computer or flash drive. An
electronic copy of your passport
can be made through a scanner.

You can also capture directly
with a digital camera. Make sure
the photo is recent, clear, and of
the right size and not more than
15 kiobyte. Test the validity of

UTME 2012 Yourself Online
registration for JAMB UTME is
very simple, although a few
complexities are involved.

However, if you have some
basic computer skills you will be
able to register yourself with
little difficulty. If you already
know how to browse the
internet using tools like Yahoo
mail, Gmail, or Facebook, then
registering for JAMB UTME will
probably be a piece of cake for
you. However, if you are not
computer literate it may be quite
challenging. But that does not
mean you should give it out to a
consultant to do for you. The
fact is that you can register for
JAMB UTME yourself. However,
the need for fingerprint scanner
may create some difficulty. You
have to probably look for a
cyber cafe with fingerprint
scanners. You can use such a
cafe to signup for your UTME
account. You can then logout
and continue the registration
yourself another time or you
can complete it at the internet
cafe. Note that the JAMB UTME
registration portal requires that
the Java Runtime Environment
be installed on your computer.
Registering yourself for UTME
2012 online may be a great
opportunity to become
computer literate, so don't miss
it. If you must give out your
Jamb UTME registration to
another person, use a friend that
is computer literate and learn
from him/her. Registering
yourself for JAMB UTME may also
be challenging because of slow
internet connections at cyber
cafes as well as the capacity of
the JAMB UTME registration
portal. We hope JAMB have taken
care of the high level of load
expected during this period.

Some cyber cafes may block
access to JAMB UTME e-
registration portal from their
cafe so that you pay them for
your UTME registration. In such a
situation, you are advised to
look for a cyber cafe that does
not offer JAMB UTME services.
However, if it is impossible to
register for Jamb UTME yourself,
then you can give it out to a
consultant or to the cyber cafe,
but don't just give out your
Jamb UTME registration to a
consultant without first trying to
register yourself. If you
outsource your JAMB UTME
registration to a consultant or
cyber cafe, make sure you
monitor him/ her to ensure that
your data is properly entered.

Most people with registration
problems in JAMB UTME are
usually those who give it out to
consultants without proper
monitoring. If you find the JAMB
UTME portal too slow try on
Sundays or at Night when traffic
is minimal. If you have your
own internet connection, you
can always access the JAMB
UTME portal at anytime. Note
about the fingerprint scanner
JAMB UTME 2012 registration
requires fingerprint scan.
Fingerprint derived from the
registration process may be
used for gaining access to
examination hall on examination
date. If this the case, prospective
candidates for JAMB UTME 2012,
should take it very serious. Make
sure your left and right thumb
fingerprint are carefully scanned
to avoid surprises and
disappointments on UTME 2012
examination date. Make sure the
biometric scanner and your
hands are clean when taking the
scan.
