How Much is the JAMB form for 2019/2020?

In recent news as seen on dailypost, Chairman of JAMB governing board, Dr Emmanuel Ndukwe announced to newsmen, his words – “You are aware that the federal government has reduced the cost of JAMB forms from N5,000 to N3,500 but it is going to take effect from next year.

“Therefore, if we start selling the forms today, we will still sell at the cost of N5,000 because the approval does not cover for now, that is why we have shifted the sale of the forms to any date from first of January.

“It is a very good move from the federal government based on our recommendations.

“Even though we are returning money to the coffers of the Federal Government, our primary objective is not just to make money.

“That money is coming from somewhere and it is difficult for some people to raise that money and pay for the forms, even though JAMB form is among the cheapest in the whole world,”

Apart from the form, you will need to pay some separate charges of about N1,200 for the complete registration. The charges include a CBT registration fee of N700 and a JAMB 2019 textbook which costs N500.

You will make the payment for the CBT registration at the CBT centre. Ensure you have received a notification from your centre before you make any payments.
