The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) on Sunday said
the much anticipated conduct of the 2018 Mock Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) would now hold on February 26.
The board’s Head, Media and Information, Fabian Benjamin, said this
in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
According to him, a total of 245,753 of the 1,652,795 candidates that
registered for this year’s UTME are expected to write the test.
“We are happy to announce to the public that the board has concluded
arrangement for the conduct of the mock UTME, slated for Monday,
February 26.
“This is irrespective of the ongoing strike embarked upon by members
of the non-academic unions of federal universities nationwide.
“Candidates will soon be informed on when to print notifications for
the examination and in addition, notifications will be sent through
e-mails and text messages on the schedules of their examination,” Dr.
Benjamin said.
He explained that the examination was expected to be hitch free
because the board had successfully reduced incidences of malfunctioning
of computers by electronically integrating the systems to see their
functionality and effectiveness through link tests.
“What this means is that, at the end if the exercise, whatever system
that is not seen will not be used for the mock examination.
“The 2018 exercise sold a total of 1, 966,918 candidate generating profiles.
“In previous examinations this number of candidates would have paid
for the forms but through our efficient and effective system of ensuring
that candidates do not waste resources, we decided to introduce the
profile generating regime.
“By this method, candidates will first have to generate personal
profiles before proceeding to obtain pins, in between which they are
open to deciding whether to go ahead to pay for the registration
documents or otherwise,” Mr. Benjamin explained.
The main UTME is expected to hold nationwide from March.
