UTME to begin Nationwide Feb. 29


The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has announced that the 2016/2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will commence nationwide from February 29, 2016.
JAMB's spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin, who confirmed this, said over one million candidates applied for the examination that its conduct would be purely Computer-based Test (CBT).

The board had phased out the traditional paper-pencil mode of testing and migrated to a full-fledged computer-based test in 2015 in line with the reforms in the education sector.
Dr Fabian Benjamin said the examination that is expected to last for about seven days would take place in about 500 designated centres across the country.

He also disclosed that the examination would hold in seven other centres outside Nigeria, namely; United Kingdom, Ghana, Cameroon, Republic of Benin, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Ethiopia.
He said: "Candidates are urged to print their examination notification from Thursday, February 18, 2016 for the schedules of their examination.

"The notification contains their date, time of examination and venue. Candidates are to adhere strictly by these schedules, as there will be no rescheduling of any examination if a candidate misses his/her date or time of examination.”

“They are to be in their various centres 30 minutes before their time. Again candidates are advised to check their schedules properly as JAMB will not condone any excuse in the event of candidate missing his or her time and date of examination.
“Candidates are to also note that they can visit JAMB accredited Computer-Based Centre or any cybercafé to print their slip or any place of their choice. It could be done at their homes.”
