The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed candidates who registered for the 2023 optional mock-UTME but could not sit for the examination held on March 30 on account of technical challenges to print their notification slips for the rescheduled examination on Tuesday, April 18.
The Head, Public Affairs and Protocol of the board, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.
Benjamin said the rescheduled Mock-UTME was only for candidates who indicated interest at the point of registration to sit for the mock examination but who were not successful during the March 30 exercise on account of technical challenges.
He said candidates who took the earlier Mock-UTME on March 30 and whose results had been released were not eligible for the rescheduled examination.
“All candidates for the rescheduled Mock-UTME are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng and click on “SUPPLEMENTARY MOCK UTME SLIP PRINTING” on the menu bar to know the time and venue of their examination.
“The rescheduled (supplementary) Mock-UTME notification slip would contain the candidates’ registration number, venue, date and time of the examination to enable them to easily locate their centres before the examination.
”Candidates are also enjoined to be at their centres one hour before the examination for biometric verification.
“The board enjoins candidates to note that the commencement time for the rescheduled examination as contained in their Notification Slips is sacrosanct,” he said.
He added that the board restated its zero tolerance for examination malpractice and urged candidates to refrain from any ignoble act or conduct during the rescheduled examination.
He, therefore, said that the 2023 UTME would be held between Tuesday, April 25 and Wednesday, May 3, 2023.
