The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has postponed the 2023 Mock-UTME earlier scheduled for Thursday, 16th March, 2023, to Thursday, 30th March, 2023. The board explained that the adjustment was necessitated by the shift in the Gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly elections from 11th March to 18th March, 2023.
New Groundbreaking JAMB CBT Rules for 2023
Alongside the new date, JAMB unveiled strict operational rules that will govern both the 2023 Mock-UTME and the main UTME:
- One-Hour Delay Cancellation Rule: If any examination session experiences a delay of up to one (1) hour before starting, that session is automatically cancelled and must be rescheduled for the next available slot (which could be the same day).
- Mandatory On-Site Rescheduling Notification: If a session is cancelled due to technical issues, affected candidates must quietly move to the Holding Area and must not leave the CBT centre until they have been officially notified of their new examination date and time. (Note: Candidates who were simply late or absent are not eligible for rescheduling).
- One-Hour Login & Submission Lockout: No candidate can log in to start an exam one hour after the session has been activated, and no candidate is permitted to submit their exam responses before spending at least one (1) hour in the exam hall.
