“At the end of the period originally scheduled for the 2021/2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and Direct Entry registration on May 15, the registration period was extended.

“Another two weeks that elapsed on May 29 was given to accommodate candidates who, largely due to issues related with newly introduced pre-requisite of National Identification Number, could not register”, he said.

He said following that, another two-week extension was added to allow for compilation of those who were unable to register.

“Additional extension of two weeks” was made to compile the list of all prospective candidates who, for any reason, were unable to register”, he said.

He added that only candidates whose names were compiled after giving reasons for the incomplete registration process and had been contacted are expected to visit the centres.
