The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced the official timetable for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) exercise following its management meeting in Abuja.
Official 2023 JAMB Registration and Examination Dates
According to a statement issued by JAMB's Head of Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, all prospective candidates should take note of these four critical dates:
- 2023 UTME Registration Window: Saturday, 14th January to Tuesday, 14th February 2023.
- 2023 Direct Entry (DE) Registration Window: Monday, 20th February to Thursday, 20th April 2023.
- 2023 Optional Mock-UTME Date: Thursday, 16th March 2023.
- 2023 Main UTME Examination Dates: Saturday, 29th April to Monday, 12th May 2023.
Upfront Payment for the 2023 Mock-UTME
Candidates who wish to sit for the optional Mock-UTME on 16th March 2023 will now pay the ₦1,000 CBT centre mock service charge upfront at the point of purchasing their registration e-PIN. This prevents situations where candidates register for the mock exam, causing centres to commit resources, only to fail to show up on exam day.
How to Prepare Ahead of Exam Day
With the exam dates confirmed, start practicing past questions daily using the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS, to master the CBT interface and cover your 2023 JAMB syllabus early.
