Due to technical issues, JAMB has changed the date for the mock exam of the 2023 UTME to 18th April 2023. Furthermore, the main examination will now take place between 25th April and 2nd May 2023. These adjustments have been made to accommodate other national assignments and public examinations, ensuring a seamless process for all candidates.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Head of Public Affairs and Protocol at JAMB, has released an official statement stating that significant changes have been made to the schedule for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). The board has now announced new dates for the mock examination and main examination of the rescheduled 2023 UTME, which were made to accommodate other crucial national assignments.
Rescheduled UTME Mock Exam:
The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) had scheduled the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME) mock examination to take place on Thursday, 30th March 2023. However, technical glitches in some centres disrupted the smooth conduct of the examination, depriving some candidates of the opportunity to participate. In light of this, JAMB has made the decision to reschedule the mock examination to Tuesday, 18th April 2023, in order to provide a level playing field for all candidates.

The purpose of the mock examination is to assess JAMB’s preparedness for the UTME and to provide prospective candidates with a practical experience of taking the examination in a computer-based test (CBT) environment. The mock examination is an important part of the preparation process for candidates, as it helps them to familiarize themselves with the CBT mode of examination, which is the format used for the actual UTME. Through the mock examination, candidates can become accustomed to the CBT process, which can reduce anxiety and improve performance on the actual UTME.
JAMB recognizes the importance of conducting a successful and seamless UTME, which is why the board has taken proactive measures to ensure that the mock examination is rescheduled for candidates who were unable to participate due to the technical difficulties encountered in some centres. The board remains committed to ensuring that all candidates have an equal opportunity to showcase their knowledge and skills in the UTME, and is working tirelessly to provide a conducive environment for the examination.
Main UTME Examination Rescheduled:
In a bid to ensure that no citizen is denied the opportunity to carry out their civic duties, the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has made a significant change to the date for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (UTME). The UTME was initially scheduled to take place on Saturday, 29th April 2023, but has now been rescheduled to hold from Tuesday, 25th April to Tuesday, 2nd May 2023.
The decision to bring forward the main UTME date was made to accommodate other major and critical national assignments that are also scheduled to take place around that time. By changing the date for the UTME, JAMB is demonstrating its commitment to ensuring that no citizen is hindered from carrying out their civic responsibilities due to the clash in schedule.
The UTME is a significant examination for many prospective candidates, as it serves as a gateway to gaining admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. By adjusting the date, JAMB is working to ensure that all candidates are able to sit for the examination without any undue stress or hindrance. The board recognizes the importance of providing a conducive environment for the UTME, which is why it has taken proactive measures to reschedule the date, ensuring that candidates can take the examination with ease.
JAMB remains committed to conducting a successful and seamless UTME, and will continue to work towards providing a level playing field for all candidates. The board’s decision to bring forward the main UTME date is a testament to its unwavering dedication to promoting fairness and equity in the education sector.
Constraints and Considerations:
The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has recently announced that it will not be able to reschedule the dates for its upcoming examination, despite the challenges and disruptions brought about by other public examinations that are set to take place in early May 2023. JAMB understands that this decision may cause inconvenience to some candidates who may have overlapping commitments during this period.
However, JAMB has taken into consideration the need to maintain a stable academic calendar for tertiary institutions across Nigeria. Rescheduling the examination would disrupt the calendar for many institutions, which could cause further complications and challenges for both students and faculty. By maintaining the original dates, JAMB hopes to minimize any potential disruptions and ensure that academic institutions can continue their operations as planned.
The board recognizes the importance of providing a level playing field for all candidates, regardless of the challenges and disruptions caused by other public examinations. Despite these challenges, JAMB is committed to ensuring that the upcoming examination is conducted in a fair and transparent manner. The board is working tirelessly to ensure that all candidates have equal opportunities to showcase their knowledge and skills during the examination.
In light of these considerations, JAMB has made the difficult decision to maintain the original examination dates. Although this decision may be difficult for some, the board believes that it is the best course of action to ensure that academic institutions can continue their operations without further disruptions.
