176,408 To Write UTME Mock Exam

Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said over 176,408 candidates will sit for this year’s optional mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Mock-UTME).

A statement issued yesterday by the head, public affairs and protocol of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said notification slips for candidates, who had registered for the Mock-UTME, were ready for printing.

He urged all the candidates for the mock-UTME to visit JAMB website for their notification slips for the examination scheduled for Thursday, 30th March, 2023.

“Visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng., CLICK on 2023 Mock-UTME on the MENU button to print their slips after inputting their Registration Number. This directive is only applicable to those candidates, who had indicated interest to take the mock examination.

” The 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 also reiterated that the scheduled commencement time for the examination is sacrosanct. In addition, the Board restated its zero tolerance for examination malpractice.

“In the same vein, candidates are advised against going into the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, phones, among others. They are also warned to desist from the application of “laale” to do fancied drawings and paintings on their hands to avoid unnecessary interference with the whorls of their fingers which could impede biometric verification,” the statement reads.
