Meanwhile, the JAMB spokesperson also announced that the board has rescheduled its mock UTME to take place on April 18, 2023, Daily Trust also stated.
The initial mock UTME was conducted on Thursday, March 30 in 725 centres across the country; however, technical issues arose in some centres, preventing some candidates from taking the exam.
The purpose of the mock examination was to assess the preparedness of JAMB and its partners for the upcoming UTME, as well as provide candidates with hands-on experience in the computer-based test (CBT) environment.
In order to give those candidates who were unable to take the exam through no fault of their own a fair opportunity, the mock examination has been rescheduled for Tuesday, April 18.
