JAMB Reschedules UTME Candidates For April 25

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it has rescheduled candidates who could not sit the Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Tuesday 25th of April, 2023 on account of technical challenges for another date.

This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen after a management meeting at the close of examination on the first day of the 2023 UTME.

JAMB urged candidates who could not take the examination due to technical reasons to print a new examination notification early morning of Wednesday 26th April, 2023 to know their new scheduled sessions.

The board noted that about 100 centres out of the 708 centres participating in the 2023 UTME exercise across the country experienced technical challenges that prevented their allotted candidates from successfully taking their examination.

It reiterated its determination to deploy world-class assessment in line with global best practices to deliver quality assessment and regretted any inconveniences experienced by candidates and their parents.

JAMB restated that the series of challenges encountered were on account of some novel features deployed by the Board to safeguard the sanctity of the examination, in order to checkmate all incidences of examination misconduct being perpetrated and perpetuated by vested interests.

The Board assured Nigerians that no candidate would be denied the right of taking his/her examination as a result of challenges experienced.
