The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will commence from 29 April to 12 May 2023.
In a statement by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, in Abuja on Tuesday, the board said the registration for the examination will start on 24 January and end on 14 February 2023.
Benjamin said Direct Entry (DE) registration would be between 20 February and 20 April 2023.
Noting that the board also fixed 16 March 2023 for the conduct of its optional mock UTME, he said: “Candidates are to note that they would be required to pay the sum of N1000 service charge for CBT centres for the conduct of mock examination at the point of registration.
“This is to prevent a situation where candidates would indicate their interest in sitting the mock UTME leading the various centres to commit human and material resources only for them to stay away on the day of the examination.
“With the new arrangement, candidates indicate their interest by paying for the mock at the point of UTME registration, precluding the centres from incurring any loss whether candidates turn up or not.”
Candidates who desire to register for the 2023 UTME are advised to immediately embark on the creation of their respective profiles (creation of profile code) ahead of the formal commencement of the registration exercise to avoid being caught up in any ensuing bottleneck.
