The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced a new date for the commencement of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations.
The UTME which was earlier scheduled to commence on April 29, would now start on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, to Tuesday, 2nd May 2023.
The board would hold its rescheduled mock UTME on April 18, 2023, for candidates affected by technical hitches.
The adjustment in the date of the UTME is to accommodate some other major and critical national assignments. By doing so, the Board hopes that no citizen would be denied the opportunity of exercising their civic responsibilities.
The Board does not have the liberty of shifting forward its examination as other public examinations are billed to commence their exercises in early May 2023. Yet another factor is the need to accommodate those institutions with a stable academic calendar to resume as scheduled.
The Board will continue to partner with relevant agencies of government to ensure that its candidates get the best. It, therefore, solicits the understanding of all as it delivers on its critical mandate.
