The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has re-scheduled its 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to begin on April 11.
The board made this known on Wednesday, March 13 in a statement by its head of media and publicity, Dr Fabian Benjamin, NAN reports.
The Mock exam was scheduled to start March 23 but as at today, it has been rescheduled to start April 1 while the main examination will commence by April 11.
The JAMB spokesman said that the change was due to certain circumstances beyond the board’s control.
He, however, urged candidates who had indicated interest in the mock examination at the point of registration and had since printed the notification slips, not to bother printing another one.
“All the details on the slips remain the same except the examination date, which is now April 1, 2019.
“However, candidates are to begin the printing of the 2019 UTME notification slips from Tuesday, April 2.
He added " Candidates can print their slips anywhere. All registered candidate are implore to print their examination notification slip before the date of examination"
"Whereas he made it known that the board will not reschedule the examination for any candidate"
Benjamin noted that 41,063 candidates created profiles and procured either UTME or Direct Entry (DE) ePINS, but were unable to complete registration after initiating the process as at the close of sale of UTME forms on Thursday, February 2 and subsequent close of registration.
He, however, said that it was in view of this that the board opened the registration portal effective on Wednesday, March 13 to enable all the candidates with either UTME or DE ePINS to complete the registration formalities.
The JAMB spokesman said: “The portal will be closed on Friday, March 15 by 12 midnight.
