Over 260,000 Candidates To Write JAMB’s Mock-UTME March 7

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is set to examine no fewer than 260,249 in the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scheduled for Thursday, March 7, 2024, nationwide.

Recall that the Board on Monday, February 26, 2024, concluded the 2023 UTME registration.

The Board in its Weekly Bulletin shared by its spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin urged the candidates sitting for the exam to print their notification slip which will enable them to identify their centers.

“To this end, all candidates, who had registered for the 2024 optional mock-UTME are to print their notification slips with a view to identifying their centres, venue, time of the examination, among other details.

“It is against this backdrop that all candidates, who had indicated to take the mock examination at the point of registration are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng, click on 2024 Mock-UTME on the MENU button to print their slips after inputting their registration number,” the Board stated.

JAMB also urged candidates to be at their centres one hour before the examination for biometric verification as the examination would be taken with the full complement of traditions that characterise the main examination.

“Therefore, candidates are urged to shun all acts of examination malpractice that could undermine the conduct of the examination as it would be conducted under strict supervision and CCTV coverage.

“Furthermore, candidates are advised against entering the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, phones, among others,” it said.

The Mock-UTME was introduced in 2017 to afford the Board the opportunity to try out innovations and features it intends to use in the course of the main UTME and also assess its readiness for the actual examination.

The mock examination is meant to also allow candidates to have a hands-on experience on the CBT environment particularly, those who are not conversant with the use of computers and those, who might wish to acquaint themselves with the CBT mode of testing prior to the main examination.
