The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new date for the commencement of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME).
The board announced this in a statement made available to the Africa Health Report, AHR, by its Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin on Sunday in Abuja.
Benjamin in the statement said the UTME which was earlier scheduled to commence on April 29, would now start on April 25, 2023.
According to him, the board would hold its rescheduled mock UTME on April 18, 2023.
“It would be recalled that 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 to test its preparedness and that of its partners for the UTME as well as allow prospective candidates to have hands-on experience of the CBT test environment.
“It is, therefore, 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.
Mr. Benjamin said that 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.
He therefore said the result of the candidates who successfully took the mock examination on March 30, had been released.
