2022 UTME, JAMB has announced a new date for mock exams.
Glamtush reports that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced that the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock papers will now be held on April 9 as against the earlier scheduled date, April 16.
JAMB made this known in its weekly bulletin from the Office of the Registrar on Monday in Abuja.
The board said the change was due to the realization that April 16, earlier scheduled, was an Easter Saturday, a holy Saturday celebrated by Christians to mark the end of the Lent period before Easter Sunday.
JAMB also said the date for the exercise had also been affected by the shift in date for the registration of the UTME and Direct Entry (DE), which was earlier scheduled for February 12 but later commenced on February 19.
The 2022 UTME registration commenced on Saturday, February 19 and is expected to end on March 26.
The exam has, however, been scheduled by JAMB to be held from May 6 to May 16.
