Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has registered 92, 490 candidates to sit for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
JAMB said that 67, 328 candidates had so far registered to
sit for its mock examination.
The board made this known in its Weekly Bulletin from the
Office of the Registrar on Monday in Abuja.
JAMB commenced registration for the 2023 UTME on Jan. 14 to
end on Feb. 14.
JAMB, while giving a breakdown of its registration fees said
that two e-pins were available for purchase, as candidates had the option to
either register to sit for its mock UTME or not.
“As already effected in the UTME exercise, two e-pins are
available, N5, 700 for without mock UTME; N6, 700 for with mock UTME, while the
Direct Entry is N4,700.
“Approved UTME fee remains N3, 500, reading text N500, the
registration fee is N700, with N1000 for Computer Based Test (CBT) examination
fee and an optional N1000 for mock examination for the candidates,” it said.
The board says it remits to the CBT centres, on a weekly
basis what is due to them, adding that the measure is put in place to stop
extortion of candidates.
It added that as part of measures put in place to enhance
the sanctity of the examination process, examinations would be allowed to take
place an hour after the scheduled commencement time.
It promised to reschedule any exam session affected by
technical challenges from the board and communicate date for the rescheduled
session to the affected candidates.
“Candidates will be notified of their new schedule centres
before they leave the examination centre.
“Furthermore, no candidate will be allowed to spend less
than one hour before submission during the examination.
“Late commencement or early departure from the examination
hall can jeopardise the conduct of the examination by giving some candidates
undue advantage over their contemporaries taking the examination,” it said.
The board has scheduled registration for Direct Entry (DE)
to commence from Feb. 20 to April 20, while the optional mock- UTME will hold
on March 16.
The board is also scheduled to conduct the 2023 UTME on
April 29 and end on May 12.
