This year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination
will begin on February 29, the authorities of the
Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board have
announced.
Over one million candidates will sit for
examination,
which the board said, would last for seven days.
JAMB’s Head of Public Relations, Dr. Fabian
Benjamin,
who confirmed this in an interview with one of
our
correspondents on Tuesday, added the board
would
use about 500 Internet-complaint centres in the
country
for the Computer-based Test.
The examination, he added, would hold in seven
other
centres outside Nigeria.
According to him, the centres are in the United
Kingdom, Ghana, Cameroon, Republic of Benin,
Saudi
Arabia, South Africa and Ethiopia.
The board, earlier, in a statement, on Tuesday,
urged
candidates to print their examination notification
from
February 18, noting that it had completed
arrangements
for a smooth conduct of the test.
It added, “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.”
In the 2015 UTME, no fewer than 1.5million
candidates
sat for the examination in about 400 centres.
