JAMB fixes May 6 for 2023 UTME outstanding candidates

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has declared that all candidates, who missed their 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) would be rescheduled to take the examination on Saturday, May 6, 2023.

JAMB listed the candidates to include those who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination, those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data.

It made this known via a statement issued on Monday, May 1, by its spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, after the board’s emergency management meeting held in Abuja on Sunday, April 30.

Benjamin directed the candidates under these categories to print their slips on or before Thursday, May 4, 2023, to know the time and venue of their examination.

“Candidates are to note that they would be grouped in a central location within their respective States to sit the examination hence the need for them to print their notification slips latest by Thursday, 4th May 2023, so as to make sufficient arrangements to sit the examination,” he added.

The JAMB spokesman stated that out of the 1,586,765 candidates who registered for the 2023 UTME, only 80,166 are now outstanding.

“On the first day of the 2023 UTME, a number of candidates in some centres could not sit the examination as well as in some centres in subsequent days due to diverse reasons. Though a reasonable number of them have been rescheduled and have taken the examination, some are yet to take their examination.

“As part of the decisions reached at the end of an emergency management meeting held on Sunday, 30th April 2023, the Board has fixed Saturday, 6th May 2023, for all categories of candidates who have not sat their examination, as listed below, to take their examination,” Benjamin said.

He, therefore, ordered the candidates to check their results on or before Thursday, May 12, 2023.
