JAMB announces approved dates for 2023 UTME registration and exams. 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved the January 24-February 14, 2023 registration period for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) at JAMB Portal.

Tuesday, JAMB’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, issued a statement containing this information.

Important dates: The board also announced that its optional mock UTME will be administered on March 16, 2023.

In addition, he stated that the date for the 2023 UTME has been set for April 29, 2023, and that it is anticipated to conclude on May 12, 2023.

 

Benjamin observed that a service fee of N1,000 is required when registering for a mock examination.

“Candidates are advised that they will be required to pay a service fee of N1,000 to CBT centres for the conduct of mock examinations at the time of registration,” he said.

This is to prevent candidates from expressing interest in sitting for the mock UTME, causing centres to commit personnel and resources, only for them to not show up on the day of the examination.”

He added, however, that this was contingent on the candidate’s interest.

He stated, “With the new arrangement, candidates indicate their interest by paying for the mock exam at the time of UTME registration, preventing the centres from incurring a loss regardless of whether candidates attend.”
Creating a profile: He urged prospective students to begin doing so as soon as possible.

“The board advises all candidates who wish to register for the 2023 UTME to immediately begin the creation of their respective profiles (creation of profile code) prior to the formal commencement of the registration process in order to avoid any resulting bottleneck,” he explained.
