The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has revealed the number of candidates that will be taking the 2021 UTME mock exam. It was also disclosed that the examination will be conducted at the approved 802 computer-based centres (CBT) located in 104 designated examination towns across the country.
According to JAMB, a total of 160,617 registered candidates for the 2021 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are qualified to take the mock exam.
This was made known by JAMB’s head of public affairs and protocol unit, Fabian Benjamin on Monday. He advised all candidates who had registered for the examination and indicated interest to sit the mock examination to reprint their notification slips.
It was also disclosed that one week after the extension of the deadline for registration, only additional 200,000 candidates comprising both the UTME and direct entry candidates have registered.
Benjamin noted that a total of 124,519 candidates, who have indicated interest to register for the examination and had procured profile codes, are yet to obtain the required registration pins. He, therefore, urged all those yet to register not to wait until the last minute as JAMB will no longer extend the deadline.
The Main UTME examination will be held between June 19th and July 3rd, 2021.
