All things being equal, the sale of forms for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will commence Saturday, January 14, 2023.
The UTME is an assessment examination conducted annually by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) for candidates who desire to secure admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
The sale of forms, according to JAMB, would run till Tuesday, February 14, 2023. Similarly, the Direct Entry (DE) registration, it added, would commence from Monday, February 20 and run till Thursday, April 20, 2023
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), in a statement late last year, disclosed that Saturday, April 29, 2023, has been fixed for the conduct of the 2023 UTME, and the examination was expected to run till Monday, May 12, 2023.
JAMB said it has also fixed Thursday, March 16, 2023, for the conduct of its optional mock-UTME. It noted that interested candidates would be required to pay the sum of N1000 service charge for Computer Based Test (CBT) centres for the conduct of mock examination at the point of registration so as to prevent a situation where candidates would indicate interest to sit for the mock-UTME leading the various centres to commit human and material resources only to stay away on the day of the examination.
JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, through a statement, confirmed that the decision was taken at the end of JAMB’s management meeting.
