Benjamin said: “Candidates, wishing to sit for the 2017
examination, should start getting themselves familiar
with the newly adopted process of pin vending by the
board. We must make ourselves open to change like it
is obtained in other climes.
We are no longer going back to the use of scratch card;
that method is outdated. Candidates wishing to register
for the examination will just make online payment and
get a pin with which they can upload their data.
“This new pin vending will be accessible through the
options of web payment, ATM issued cards like Visa,
Verve, and Master card, online Quick Teller, mobile
application and Bank Branch case/card.’’
Benjamin assured that the board was working hard to
redress all challenges experienced by candidates
during its 2016 UTME as it was preparing for the 2017
diet.
