A new date has been announced by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board for the start of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations.
The board released a statement in Abuja on Sunday, signed by its Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, stating that the UTME, initially set to begin on April 29, will now commence on April 25, 2023.
JAMB will conduct its rescheduled mock UTME on April 18, 2023.
”JAMB had earlier conducted its 2023 Mock-UTME on Thursday, March 30, in 725 centres across the country.
”However, the exercise ran into some technical hitches in some centres, thereby denying some candidates the opportunity to sit for the examination.
”The board’s mock examination was designed for the purpose of testing its preparedness and that of its partners for the UTME as well as give prospective candidates the opportunity to have hands-on experience of the CBT test environment.
”It is, therefore, in order to give those candidates, who were unable to sit for the examination owing to no fault of theirs, the opportunity to take the examination that the mock examination had been rescheduled to hold on Tuesday, April 18,” he said.
He said candidates who were present and screened for the examination but could not sit for it had been rescheduled to retake the mock examination on April 18.
Benjamin, therefore, said the result of the candidates who successfully took the mock examination on March 30, had been released.
