The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has disclosed that candidates who could not sit for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination within their scheduled time owing to no fault of theirs, would be rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, May 6, 2023.
The board disclosed this in a statement on Monday through its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin.
The statement read, “Candidates under these categories are principally those (i) who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination (ii) those who could not be biometrically verified, and (iii) those with mismatched data.”
The PUNCH reports the board fixed a week for the conduct of the exam which started April 25, 2023, and would end Tuesday, May 2, 2023.
“On the first day of the 2023 UTME, a number of candidates in some centres could not sit the examination as well as in some centres in subsequent days due to diverse reasons. Though a reasonable number of them have been rescheduled and have taken the examination, some are yet to take their examination.
“As part of the decisions reached at the end of an emergency management meeting held on Sunday, 31st April 2023, the Board has fixed Saturday, 6th May 2023, for all categories of candidates who have not sat their examination, as listed below, to take their examination,” the board said.
Meanwhile, JAMB has also disclosed that it would commence the release of results of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Board on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, The PUNCH reports.
