"It would be recalled that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, had earlier conducted its 2023 Mock-UTME on Thursday March 30, 2023, in 725 centers globally."
"The Boards mock examination was designed to test its preparedness and that of its partners for the UTME as well as allow prospective candidates to have hands-on experience of the CBT test environment.
"However, the exercise ran into technical hitches in some centers, therefore denying some candidates the opportunity to sit the examination.
It is, therefore, to give those candidates, who were unable to sit the examination owing to no fault of theirs, the opportunity to take the examination that the mock examination had been rescheduled to hold on Tuesday, 18th April 2023.
Similarly, candidates who were present and screened for the examination but could not sit the examination have been rescheduled to retake the mock examination on Tuesday, April 18th, 2023.
"In the meantime, the result of the candidates who successfully took the mock examination on March 30th, 2023, has been released.
"Also, the Board has brought forward the conduct of its 2023 UTME which was earlier scheduled to hold from Saturday, 29th April, to Tuesday, May 2nd, 2023.
The adjustment in the dates of the UTME is to accommodate some other major and critical national assignments.
By so doing, the board hopes that no citizen will be denied the opportunity of exercising their civic responsibilities.
