Latest JAMB News On UTME 2023 Today, Tuesday April 11

In todays Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB) news, VerseNews Nigeria reports that Tuesday, 18th April, 2023, will be the date for the rescheduled 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) mock examination.

The Board also announced that the conduct of its 2023 UTME, which was earlier scheduled to hold from Saturday, 29th April, 2023 will now hold on Tuesday, 25th April, to Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023.

This Online News Media reports that the announcement was made in a statement by the Head, Public Affairs and Protocol of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin.

According to the statement, the adjustment in the date of the UTME is to accommodate some other major and critical national assignments.

Recall that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) had earlier conducted its 2023 Mock-UTME on Thursday, 30th March, 2023, 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 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 gives prospective candidates the opportunity to have hands-on experience of the CBT test environment.

The statement read in part, “It is, therefore, in order to give those candidates, who were unable to sit 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, 18th April, 2023.

“In the meantime, the result of the candidates who successfully took the mock examination on 30th March, 2023, has been released.

“Also, the Board has brought forward the conduct of its 2023 UTME which was earlier scheduled to hold from Saturday, 29th April, 2023, to Tuesday, 25th April, to Tuesday, 2nd May, 2023.

“The adjustment in the date of the UTME is to accommodate some other major and critical national assignments. By doing so, the Board hopes that no citizen would be denied the opportunity of exercising their civic responsibilities.

“It should be noted that the Board does not have the liberty of shifting forward its examination as other public examinations are billed to commence their exercises in the early part of May, 2023. Yet another factor is the need to accommodate those institutions with a stable academic calendar to resume as scheduled.

“The Board will continue to partner with relevant agencies of government to ensure that its candidates get the best. It, therefore, solicits the understanding of all as it delivers on its critical mandate.”
