The 2023 Mock-UTME, which was originally set for Thursday, March 16, 2023, has been rescheduled for Thursday, March 30, 2023, according to ANAEDOONLINE.NG.
The change in date is partly due to the change in date for the Governorship and State Houses of Assembly Elections, which were previously set for Saturday, March 11, 2023, but have now been rescheduled to March 18, 2023, according to a statement issued by the examination board on Monday afternoon.
“Candidates, who enrolled early and expressed their readiness to take the Mock-UTME, would be advised as to when to print their Mock-UTME notification slip, which would contain their centres and other details”.
The PUNCH reports that the mock UTME is an optional examination introduced by the JAMB 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 would witness some groundbreaking innovations aimed at addressing observed infractions and centre failures.

“For instance, in the new regime, if there is a delay of up to one hour before the commencement of a particular session, that session stands cancelled and would be rescheduled along with the candidates.
“By the same token, no examination can be started one hour after the scheduled commencement time. The session will be scheduled for any vacant or available slot,” JAMB said in the statement.
