….Says Old candidates not eligible
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has directed candidates who had registered for the 2023 optional Mock-UTME but could not sit the examination, which was held on Thursday, March 30, 2023, on account of technical challenges, to print their Notification Slips from Friday, April 14, 2023, for the re-scheduled mock examination holding on Tuesday, April 18, 2023.
This was contained in a statement issued Friday in Abuja by JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
The statement indicated that candidates who had earlier sat for the examination were not eligible.
“Candidates, who took the earlier Mock-UTME on Thursday, March 30, 2023, and whose results have been released, are not eligible for the rescheduled mock examination.
“In essence, the rescheduled Mock-UTME is only for candidates, who indicated interest, at the point of registration, to sit the mock examination but who were not successful during the Thursday, 30th March, 2023, exercise on account of technical challenges.
“All candidates for the rescheduled Mock-UTME are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng and click on SUPPLEMENTARY MOCK UTME SLIP PRINTING on the menu bar to know the time and venue of their examination.
“The re-scheduled (supplementary) Mock-UTME Notification Slip would contain the Candidates’ Registration Number, Venue, Date, and Time of the Examination to enable them to easily locate their centres before the examination. Candidates are also enjoined to be at their centres one hour before the examination for biometric verification.
“The Board enjoins candidates to note that the commencement time for the rescheduled examination as contained in their Notification Slips, is sacrosanct,” the statement read in part.
It warned candidates against malpractices and other vices, reiterating the Board’s zero tolerance for sharp practices.
