The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the new date for the rescheduled mock examination.
According to the Board, the mock examination will hold on Tuesday, April 18.
JAMB also brought forward the conduct of its 2023 UTME which was earlier fixed for Saturday, April 29 to Tuesday, April 25 April.
The spokesperson for JAMB, Fabian Benjamin, gave the new dates in a statement to journalists on Sunday.
Benjamin says, the results of the candidates who successfully took the mock examination on March 30, have been released.
The Mock Examination
The 2023 Mock-UTME was conducted in 725 centres across Nigeria.
However, there were technical hitches in some centres which hindered some candidates from writing the exam.
The Board’s mock examination was designed for the purpose of testing its preparedness and that of its partners for the UTME.
It will also give prospective candidates the opportunity to have hands-on experience of the CBT test environment.
Benjamin said the mock exam was rescheduled in order to give candidates, who were unable to sit the examination owing to no fault of theirs, the opportunity to take the examination.
“Similarly, candidates who were present and screened for the examination but could not sit for the examination have been rescheduled to retake the mock examination on Tuesday, April 18, 2023″.
National Assignments
Benjamin explains that the adjustment in the date of the UTME is to accommodate some other major and critical national assignments.

By so doing, the Board hopes that no citizen would be denied the opportunity of exercising their civic responsibilities.
“It should be noted that the Board does not have the liberty of shifting forward its examination as other public examinations are billed to commence their exercises in the early part of May 2023.
