Over 260,000 candidates have written this year‘s Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Mock UTME) across 793 computer-based test (CBT) centres in Nigeria.
The registrar/chief executive of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Professor Ishaq Oloyede, made this known after monitoring the examination yesterday in some centres in Abuja.
Oloyede, who expressed delight over the seamless conduct of the exercise nationwide, said the exam was to test the preparedness for the main UTME, which will commence on Friday, 19th April, 2024.

He revealed that the exam body also successfully conducted recruitment examinations for Nigeria Police on Wednesday, adding that the only few incidents recorded in the Mock UTME in about four centres would be resolved.

So far so good, we are doing mock after mock, just yesterday we conducted recruitment for the Police Service Commission throughout the country, that was a mock before today’s mock and that was in 411 centres across the country, and today we are conducting our own mock in 793 centres across the country.
“So far, we have about three or four places where they have one issue or the other, but we are trying to get over that. So, it is a good one, even those three (where there are issues), we will have a way of accommodating them even if they go down completely. But everything is going on well and the reports we have are that we are very okay.“

The JAMB boss said that 1.98 million candidates registered for the main 2024 UTME out of which over 260,000 took part in the mock exam.
Over 260,000 candidates are sitting for the (mock) exam but in the real exam we have 1.98 million, because we don‘t want to turn our mock exam into another exam. That is why we did not allow more than that number to register for the mock exam, which is just to test the system.“
On the readiness for the main UTME, Oloyede said JAMB was fully prepared for the smooth conduct of the exam, even as he revealed that new mechanisms would also be deployed to further fortify the exam system.

We are adequately ready for the exam. Today is a very special day for us.
We know we are doing some internal revolution this year which we were apprehensive of the workability.
We can now say we have arrived, what we said to ourselves about six, seven years ago, we have been able to achieve it today,“ he said.
