The Joint Admissions
and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said that it will test 176,408 candidates in its 2023 mock examination which has been rescheduled to hold on Thursday, March 30.
JAMB’s Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.
Benjamin said that the board had also directed candidates who registered for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) optional Mock-UTME that their notification slips were ready for printing beginning from Thursday, March 23.
”All candidates for the Mock-UTME are to 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 notice 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,” Benjamin said.
He further said that the board had stressed that the rescheduled time for the examination was sacrosanct, even as there would be zero tolerance for malpractice.
He cautioned candidates against going into the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, and phones, among others.
Benjamin also warned candidates no to apply “laale” or henna on their fingers to avoid undermining biometric verification.
