The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has
announced the date for the 2018 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME).
Ishaq Oloyede, JAMB registrar, made the announcement on Wednesday
during a meeting in Abuja with critical stakeholders on the plans and
programmes for the 2018 UTME and Direct Entry (DE).
The board proposed
March 9 – 17 as the dates for the exam saying it checked carefully not to clash with other public examinations dates.
Oloyede also announced the dates for the mock examination for interested students would be running from
January 22 – 27. He said the form would cost
N5000.
He said, “The mock examination is starting the same date the sales of
form is ending. “Eye glasses are to be examined properly before
candidates are allowed into the examination hall,” he said.
JAMB had, on Tuesday, said it will meet with key parastatals to
brainstorm on the conduct of the examination and identify possible areas
for review of the UTME.
Amongst the stakeholders are the Foreign Affairs Ministry officials,
university lecturers, vice chancellors and rectors of polytechnics. “We
are also expecting top media executives, state commissioners of
education and heads of colleges of education.
“Other stakeholders expected at the meeting are labour unions of
Nigeria universities such as ASUU, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian
Universities (SSANU) and Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU), among
others,’’ Fabian Benjamin said on behalf of the board.
The board earlier banned the use of pens, wrist watches and other
devices as part of the newly introduced measures for the 2018 UTME.
