The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, rolled out some major schedules for its activities in 2023.
Consequently, the board has approved the commencement of registration for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) from January 14 to February 14, 2023.
This information was contained in a statement made available to Blueprint same day by JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin.
“This, however, does not include registration for Direct Entry (DE) application documents as the DE registration would commence from Monday, 20th February to Thursday, 20th April, 2023,” the statements reads in part.
Benjamin further said the board has also fixed Thursday, March 16, 2023, for the conduct of its optional mock-UTME.
“Candidates are to note that they would be required to pay the sum of N1000 service charge for CBT centres for the conduct of mock examination at the point of registration so as to prevent a situation where candidates would indicate their interest to sit the mock-UTME leading the various centres to commit human and material resources only for them to stay away on the day of the examination.
“With the new arrangement, candidates indicate their interest by paying for the mock at the point of UTME registration, therefore, precluding the centres from incurring any loss whether candidates turn up or not.
“Also, the Board, after considering its other commitments, fixed Saturday, 29th April, 2023, for the conduct of the 2023 UTME, which is expected to end on Monday, 12th May, 2023,” the statement further reveals.
The board, Benjamin said, advised all candidates, who desire to register for the 2023 UTME to immediately embark on the creation of their respective profiles (profile codes) ahead of the formal commencement of the registration to avoid being caught up in any bottleneck that may ensue.
