The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that over 1.9 million candidates registered for the 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) as registration officially closes at midnight on Monday, February 17, 2020—marking the highest registration figure in JAMB's history.
669 CBT Centres Cleared for the February 18 Mock Exam
Speaking on the milestone, JAMB's Head of Media and Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, stated that all attention now shifts to the optional Mock Examination scheduled for Tuesday, 18th February 2020:
- 669 Centres Approved for Mock: Out of 747 accredited centres nationwide, 669 CBT centres will be used to conduct the mock examination.
- Facility Stress-Testing: One of the primary objectives of the mock exam is to test-run the computers and network infrastructure at these centres ahead of the main March 14 exam. Any centre that falls short of JAMB's technical standard during the mock will be automatically delisted.
