THE Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed registration for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) starting from Saturday, 14th January, to Tuesday, 14th February 2023.
The Board, at the end of its management meeting held on Tuesday, 20th December 2022, made the disclosure when it rolled out some major dates for its activities in 2023.
This, however, does not include registration for Direct Entry (DE) application documents as the DE registration would commence from Monday, 20th February to Thursday, 20th April 2022.
In a statement by Dr Fabian Benjamin, spokesperson of JAMB, the Board also fixed Thursday, 16th March 2023, for the conduct of its optional mock UTME.
The statement added that candidates would be required to pay N1000 service charge for CBT centres for the conduct of mock examination at the point of registration.
“This is to prevent a situation where candidates would indicate their interest to sit the mock-UTME leading the various centres to commit human and material resources only for them to stay away on the day of the examination.
“With the new arrangement, candidates indicate their interest by paying for the mock at the point of UTME registration, therefore, precluding the centres from incurring any loss whether candidates turn up or not.
“Also, the Board, after considering its other commitments, fixed Saturday, 29th April, 2023, for the conduct of the 2023 UTME, which is expected to end on Monday, 12th May 2023.
“The Board advises all candidates, who desire to register for the 2023 UTME, to, immediately, embark on the creation of their respective profiles (creation of profile code) ahead of the formal commencement of the registration exercise to avoid being caught up in any ensuing bottleneck.”
