The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) says that the 2021 mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), earlier scheduled for April 30, would now hold on May 20.
The board made this known in a statement signed by its Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, and made available to journalists on Sunday, in Abuja. The statement said that the change was part of the board’s ongoing adjustments of its operational processes. ”The change, however, would not affect other schedules, including the date for the UTME, fixed for June 5 to 19.
Candidates, who have registered and have chosen to sit for the exercise, and other critical stakeholders are to take note of this change of date,” JAMB stated.
The board also noted that the 2021 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) registration was ongoing and also scheduled to end on May 15. Candidates, the board said were to first generate their profiles by sending their details to 55019.
