- - The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is set to
begin sales of its 2017 UTME application forms
- The announcement will be made
following an agreement that was
reached with other examination bodies in the country after agreeing on
a harmonized timetable
- A 10-day window for JAMB'S UTME has been created by all examination
bodies for the exam body to conduct its examination
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), is set to
commence of sale of the 2017/2018 admission forms for Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE).
This agreement was reached at the national headquarters of the Board
in Abuja on Tuesday, January 24, after a meeting with
National Examination Council (NECO), West African Examination Council
(WAEC) and National Business and Technical Examination (NABTEB) to
harmonize the timetable.
Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the head of media and information, in a statement
said that the
harmonized examination timetable, will solve problems arising from
overlapping of
examination dates, which has
disenfranchised a lot of candidates.
"The bodies agreed that for the purpose of the 2017 UTME, JAMB will
shift its examinations to allow students face WAEC, NECO and NABTEB,"
he said.
In another development, Prof Ishaq Oloyede, the registrar and chief
executive of JAMB, has said that candidates, who wish to
sit for the 2017 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination, will take the examination under the
surveillance of Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras.
The registrar while speaking during a briefing in Abuja said the
measure was necessary and that it is aimed at preventing examination
malpractice during the UTME.
