… As organisation prohibits phones, wristwatches, calculators, others
176,408 candidates have been scheduled to write the 2023 mock examination on Thursday, March 30, organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The examination board has also advised candidates against going into the examination halls with prohibited items, like wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, phones, among others.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, the Head, Public Affairs and Protocol of JAMB disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists in Abuja.
According to Benjamin, the board has also directed candidates who registered for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) optional Mock-UTME that their notification slips would be ready for printing from Thursday, March 23.
The statement reads, “All candidates for the Mock-UTME are to visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng., click on 2023 Mock-UTME on the MENU button to print their slips after inputting their Registration Number.
”This directive is only applicable to those candidates who had indicated interest to take the mock examination.
”The 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,” the statement added.
Benjamin said that the board had also reiterated that the scheduled commencement time for the examination was sacrosanct as there would be zero tolerance for malpractice.
He added, “They are also warned to desist from the application of “laale” to do fancied drawings and paintings on their hands to avoid unnecessary interference with the whorls of their fingers, which could impede biometric verification.”
