The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has adjusted the date for the 2022 Mock-UTME, bringing it forward by one week from Saturday, 16th April 2022 to Saturday, 9th April 2022.

JAMB shifts 2022 mock UTME to April 9th, 2022

Why the April 16 Date Was Changed

  • In its weekly official bulletin, JAMB explained that the adjustment was made after realizing that Saturday, 16th April 2022 falls on Easter Saturday (Holy Saturday), a major Christian religious observance preceding Easter Sunday.
  • New 2022 Mock-UTME Date: Saturday, 9th April 2022
  • Main 2022 UTME Dates (Unchanged): Friday, 6th May to Monday, 16th May 2022

Candidates who wish to participate in the Mock-UTME must register early and indicate their interest at the point of registration. You can also practice unlimited CBT mocks on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.

If I already registered last week and ticked 'Yes' for Mock, will my date automatically change to April 9th?
