Matriculation Board (JAMB) is set to
begin sales of its 2017 UTME application
forms
- The announcement will be made
following an agreement that was
reached with other examination bodies
in the country after agreeing on a
harmonized timetable
- A 10-day window for JAMB’S UTME has
been created by all examination bodies
for the exam body to conduct its
examination.
The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB), is set to
commence of sale of the 2017/2018
admission forms for Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME)
and Direct Entry (DE).
This agreement was reached at the
national headquarters of the Board in
Abuja on Tuesday, January 24, after a
meeting with National Examination
Council (NECO), West African
Examination Council (WAEC) and
National Business and Technical
Examination (NABTEB) to harmonize
the timetable.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the head of
media and information, in a statement
said that the harmonized examination
timetable, will solve problems arising
from overlapping of examination
dates, which has disenfranchised a lot
of candidates.
“The bodies agreed that for the purpose of
the 2017 UTME, JAMB will shift its
examinations to allow students face WAEC,
NECO and NABTEB,” he said.
In another development, Prof Ishaq
Oloyede, the registrar and chief
executive of JAMB, has said that
candidates, who wish to sit for the
2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination, will take the
examination under the surveillance of
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)
cameras. The registrar while speaking during a
briefing in Abuja said the measure
was necessary and that it is aimed at
preventing examination malpractice
during the UTME.
