Rescheduled mock-UTME slips ready for printing, says JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says notification slips for its rescheduled mock UTME billed for April 18 is now ready for printing.

TheCable had reported that the board promised to reschedule its mock test — which was held on March 30 — for candidates unable to partake in the exercise over technical challenges.

In a statement on Friday by Fabian Benjamin, its spokesperson, the board called on candidates to print their notification slips before the mock UTME.

JAMB also said candidates who took the exam on March 30 and have had their results released are not eligible for the rescheduled exercise.

“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 statement reads.

“The rescheduled (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.”

JAMB also said the commencement time for the rescheduled exam as contained in the candidates’ notification slips is sacrosanct.

“In the same vein, candidates are advised against going into the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, phones, among others,” it added.

“They are also warned to desist from the application of ‘laale’ (henna) 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 main UTME is scheduled to hold between April 25 and May 3.
