JUST IN: JAMB Gives More Update On UTME

JAMB has issued more updates on Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Onyxnews understands it has asked candidates sitting for its mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) to reprint their examination slips.

In the latest edition of its weekly magazine released on Monday, the board said the development follows the change in the original date of the examination.

Recently, the board had extended the optional exercise, earlier scheduled for May 20, to June 3.

It also shifted the registration deadline and postponed the date for this year’s UTME, citing low registration due to technical glitches in the procedure.

According to the board, candidates must reprint their slips to reflect the latest adjustments in the exam arrangement.

“Candidates, who had registered for the 2021 UTME and indicated interest to sit for the optional mock examination, are to reprint their mock notification slips,” it said.

“This is consequent on the change of date for the mock- UTME earlier scheduled for Thursday, May 20 and now to hold on Thursday, June 3.

It is imperative to reprint as the new slip will have a new date. As disclosed earlier, the optional mock notification slip can be printed from anywhere that candidates find convenient, provided they have internet access.

“To print the slip, candidates are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng then click on the facility and print their slips.”

The board explained that each slip contained candidates’ details such as registration number, the exam centre and time.

JAMB also enjoined candidates to print and study the contents in the slip to avoid mix up in the location of their centres and name of the examination centres.
