JAMB Reschedules UTME In 100 Centers Over Glitches

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has rescheduled the ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for candidates in 100 centres as a result of technical glitches experienced on Tuesday.

The board made the announcement in a statement issued on Tuesday night in Abuja by the Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin.

The statement read:  “Following the announcement, candidates, who for technical reasons could not take the examination, are to print a new examination notification early tomorrow morning, Wednesday, 26th April, 2023, to know their new scheduled sessions.

“It is to be noted that about 100 centres out of the 708 centres participating in the 2023 UTME exercise across the country, experienced technical challenges that prevented their allotted candidates from successfully taking their examination.”

The board reiterated its commitment to deploy world-class assessments in line with global best practices to deliver quality assessments and regretted any inconveniences experienced by candidates and their parents.
