The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has rescheduled its ongoing 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, for about 60,000 candidates.
Fabian Benjamin, the board’s head of media and publicity, who made the disclosure on Thursday, said the rescheduling was due to the technical glitches experienced on the first two days of the examination.
He said of about 947,000 candidates who sat for the UTME on Tuesday and Wednesday, 60,000 were rescheduled.
Benjamin urged candidates who were unable to sit for the first two day’s examination to continue to check their profiles. He said they are expected to print their updated examination slip as the board reschedules them for the examination.
“One assurance we want to give Nigerians is that every candidate that has registered for this examination will certainly be given the opportunity to take the examination,” he added.
Benjamin also scored the board high in the conduct of the 2023 examination despite the glitches that marred the examination on the first day.
He said, “This is the best exam we have had over a period of time. But I know many will like to contest that because of what happened on Tuesday.
“If you have been in the system and have been following our exams, you will know that the first day is always turbulent. If you are to give a pass mark, out of 900,000, you had an issue with 60,000, it is a fair share.”
The 2023 UTME commenced as scheduled on Tuesday, April 25. 1.6 million candidates registered for the exam which is expected to end on Wednesday, May 3.
