Shift In Date For Mock Exam Won’t Affect Main UTME Date – JAMB

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has come out to say that the 2021 mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), earlier scheduled for Saturday, April 30, would now hold on Thursday, May 20.

The board recently revealed this in a statement, signed by its Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

According to him, the change of date will not affect other schedules, including the date for the UTME, fixed for June 5 to 19.

He added that candidates who have registered and chosen to sit for the exercise, and other critical stakeholders are to take note of this change of date.

His words, “The change, however, would not affect other schedules, including the date for the UTME, fixed for June 5 to 19.”

“Candidates, who have registered and have chosen to sit for the exercise, and other critical stakeholders, are to take note of this change of date.”

“The right process is to send the word “NIN”, allow one space in between, then insert the eleven digits NIN number and send to 55019, that is; NIN 00000000000.”

“Any other process is wrong and would not generate the profile code for the candidate.”

“It is also necessary for the candidate to know that only the SIM that is linked to his or her NIN can be used to send the NIN to 55019.”
