JAMB Set to Hold Four Exam Sessions in lieu of Three.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in a quest to serve the public better and also conclude its examination within the stipulated time, has announced its decision to hold four sessions instead of its traditional three in four of its examination towns. The decision was announced by the Registrar of the Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, at the end of a meeting held with critical stakeholders to finalise all arrangements for the conduct of the upcoming 2022 UTME.
The Registrar disclosed that the Board was forced to adopt this course of action because one of the centres was gutted by fire while the others failed due to technical incapacity on their part and in line with the Board’s policy of not moving candidates outside their chosen examination towns, the Board had opted for additional sessions to be created in centres within the affected examination towns which are Abule Egba/Agege/Ikeja( Lagos); Mainland (Lagos) Funtua/ Malumfashi (Katsina) examination towns.
According to Prof. Ishaq, this decision would enable the candidates who had picked these examination towns to take their respective examinations within the window allotted to the Board by the Federal Ministry of Education so as to afford other examination bodies the opportunity to conduct their examinations.
NOTE
Candidates applying for the UTME, have the liberty to choose the examination town they wish to sit their examination on the basis of which the Board would assign them to centres within the chosen examination towns.
