JAMB : UTME to Begin On April 11 - Check Full Details

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation

Board (JAMB) has scheduled its 2019

Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination

(UTME) to begin on April 11.

The board made this known on Wednesday,

March 13 in a statement by its head of

media and publicity, Dr Fabian Benjamin,

NAN reports.

Legit.ng also gathers that Benjamin disclosed

that the mock examination will hold on

April 1, nationwide, contrary to its earlier

announcement that the exercise will hold

on March 23.

The JAMB spokesman said that the change

was due to certain circumstances beyond

the board’s control.

He, however, urged candidates who had

indicated interest in the mock examination

at the point of registration and had since

printed the notification slips, not to bother

printing another one.

“All the details on the slips remain the same

except the examination date, which is now

April 1, 2019.

“However, candidates are to begin the

printing of the 2019 UTME notification slips

from Tuesday, April 2.

“All candidates, who registered for the 2019

UTME are to ensure that they print their

examination notification slips before the day

of the examination as no excuses will be

entertained.

“The public should note that the board will

not reschedule examination for any

candidate.

“Candidates can print their slips anywhere,”

he stated.

Benjamin noted that 41,063 candidates

created profiles and procured either UTME

or Direct Entry (DE) ePINS, but were unable

to complete registration after initiating the

process as at the close of sale of UTME forms

on Thursday, February 2 and subsequent

close of registration.

He, however, said that it was in view of this

that the board opened the registration

portal effective on Wednesday, March 13 to

enable all the candidates with either UTME

or DE ePINS to complete the registration

formalities.

The JAMB spokesman said: “ The portal will

be closed on Friday, March 15 by 12

midnight..
