The Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed April 11 for the
commencement of the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). The
examination is expected to hold for about a week across the country.
The board
also said the mock examination which was earlier scheduled to hold on March 23
will now hold April 1.
The mock
examination is optional and is only meant to prepare interested candidates for
the main examination. It does not in any way add to the grades for the main
examination.
The main
JAMB examination was expected to begin on March 16 and end on March 23 at
JAMB’s computer-based test centres nationwide, but the postponement of the
general elections affected the dates.
After the
initial postponement of the main examination, no new date was announced until
April l1 commencement date was announced on Wednesday.
However, the mock exam which was
scheduled to hold on March 23 is now being postponed allegedly because of
supplementary elections in some states scheduled for March 23.
Premium
Times reported how the electoral commission, INEC, announced March 23 for
supplementary elections in states and constituencies where elections were
declared inconclusive.
Governorship
elections were declared inconclusive in six states: Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue,
Kano, Plateau, and Sokoto.
