The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has postponed the 2023 Mock-UTME earlier scheduled for Thursday,16th March 2023, to Thursday, 30th March, 2023.
According to Fabian Benjamin, the board’s head of public affairs and protocol, in a statement on Monday, said the mock UTME will now hold on March 30.
JAMB said the postponement of the exam was partly due to the change in the date for the Gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly Elections earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday,11th March, 2023 but now moved to 18th March, 2023.
“The shift in date is partly owing to the change in the date for the gubernatorial and state houses of assembly elections earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday, 11th March, 2023 but now moved to 18th March, 2023,” the statement reads.
Candidates, who registered early and indicated their willingness to take the Mock-UTME, would be notified as to when to print their Mock-UTME notification slip, which would contain their centres and other details.
The statement added, “The Board also wants to use this opportunity to announce that this year’s UTME would witness some groundbreaking innovations aimed at addressing observed infractions and centre failures.
“For instance, in the new regime, if there is a delay of up to one hour before the commencement of a particular session, that session stands cancelled and would be rescheduled along with the candidates.
“By the same token, no examination can be started one hour after the scheduled commencement time. The session will be scheduled for any VACANT or AVAILABLE slot. The Board has made it mandatory that candidates must be notified of their new scheduled session or centre, as the case may be, before they leave their centre. In addition, no candidate would be allowed to spend less than one hour before submission of responses during the UTME. Similarly, the new regime would make it impossible for candidates to login after one hour of activation of examination.
