As part of its commitment to promote quality education
in Nigeria, Interswitch Group, the foremost pan-African digital payment and
commerce company, is offering free tutorial classes to prospective and existing
candidates of the forthcoming JAMB/UTME examination. This is coming on the

The tutorials will commence a few weeks before the
examination and is exclusive to candidates who register on Interswitch enabled
platforms such as Quickteller Mobile App/Web, Quickteller Paypoint (Agents) and
Interswitch WebPAY on JAMB’s website. The tutorials will be held virtually
across the country.

is to equip the students and help them prepare better for the desired future.”
JAMB had earlier slated May 15, 2021 for the deadline of
the 2021 JAMB registration before it was extended to May 29, 2021.
The deadline extension gives parents and guardians of
prospective candidates intending to register for the 2021 UTME the opportunity
to obtain their e-PINs from enabled Interswitch platforms such as Quickteller
Mobile App/Web, Quickteller Paypoint (Agents) and Interswitch WebPAY on JAMB’s
website and through payment using Interswitch Paydirect at any bank branch
nationwide.
The Interswitch platforms simplify the registration
process and eliminate the cumbersome JAMB registration process faced by many
candidates nationwide. For a seamless registration process, prospective
candidates, including those registering from foreign countries, should follow
these easy steps:

Identification Number, NIN, this is mandatory.
·

11-digit NIN number to 55019 e.g. [NIN 00123456789]. It is important that there
is a space between the word ‘NIN’ and the 11-digit NIN.

Federal Government since 2018. However, each candidate will be required to also
pay an additional N500 for a study pack to be provided by CBT Centres at the
point of registration. Consequently, every prospective candidate will pay a
total of N4,000.
