Jamb postpones 2023 UTME mock exams

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has postponed the date for its 2023 mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

The new date for the mock UTME  is Thursday, March 30, 2023 .

Fabian Benjamin, the spokesman of JAMB, stated that the change in date was due to the change in the date for the gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly elections holding on March 18, 2023.

Benjamin said 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.

He stated: The Mock-UTME is an optional examination introduced by the Board to provide an opportunity for candidates to have hands-on experience with the system as well as afford the Board an opportunity to ascertain its readiness and that of its partners for the main UTME, which is scheduled to hold between April 29, to May 12, 2023.

The Board also wants to use this opportunity to announce that this year’s UTME will witness some groundbreaking innovations aimed at addressing observed infractions and centre failures.
