Mock UTME slips ready for printing, says JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says candidates who registered for the 2023 mock UTME can now print their notification slips. 

In a statement by Fabian Benjamin, its spokesperson, the board announced that the slips would be available for printing from March 23.

JAMB said a total of 176,408 candidates are scheduled to take part in the exercise scheduled for March 30.

“All candidates for the mock-UTME are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng., click on 2023 mock-UTME on the menu button to print their slips after inputting their registration number,” the statement reads.

“This directive is only applicable to those candidates, who had indicated interest to take the mock examination.

“The 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 reiterated its zero tolerance for examination malpractice, adding that anyone caught would be punished.

“Candidates are advised against going into the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, phones, among others,” the board added.

“They are also warned to desist from the application of ‘laale’ to do fancied drawings and paintings on their hands to avoid unnecessary interference with the whorls of their fingers which could impede biometric verification.”

The exam was originally fixed for March 16 but postponed due to the governorship and state house of assembly elections.
