The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) say that mock examination slips for its Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) can now be printed out in preparation for the exercise.
JAMB made this known in its Weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar.
The board said candidates who had registered for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination and indicated interest to sit for the optional mock examination are to print their mock notification slips from Sunday, May 9.
This is in preparation for the mock examination scheduled for Thursday, May 20.
The optional mock notification slips can be printed from anywhere candidates find to be convenient, provided they have access to the internet.
Candidates are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng then click on e-facility and print their slips.
The board added that the slip contained candidates’ details such as registration number and the centre to which they are to sit for the examination within their chosen examination town.
The slip, it further said, also contained the expected time the candidates were to be at the centre.
It further urged candidates to study the contents of the slip after printing it out in order to know the location of their examination centers on time, to avoid confusion on the scheduled date of the exercise.
JAMB also said that a total of 845,517 candidates have so far registered for the 2021 UTME and a total of 38,886 candidates have registered for Direct Entry (DE) as of Sunday, May 9.
In a similar development, the board cautioned the public against falling victims to scammers whom it said have continued to use its name to commit illicit acts.
The board said that its attention had been drawn to the activities of criminal elements who claim to be recruiting invigilators on behalf of the Board for the 2021 UTME/DE.
According to the board, they do this while also requesting the payment of acceptance fee of N5,000 payable to the syndicates.
The board states unequivocally, that it is not recruiting any invigilator or any official in that capacity for that matter.
The board added that it had in place a transparent and foolproof process of recruiting ad-hoc staff or any other officials it needed to make progress.
JAMB said it has become necessary to notify the public of the development so that people were not scammed and parted with their hard-earned resources on the premise of securing non-existing jobs with the board.
The board also stated that it has commenced series of meetings with its critical stakeholders to consolidate on its preparations for the 2021 UTME/DE exercise.
