The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has stated that about 85,000 candidates will participate in the supplementary Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) scheduled to hold on Saturday, July 1 2017.
According to JAMB’s Head of Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, the examination, which is for candidates who registered late and those with related issues, will be spread across some Computer Based Testing (CBT) centres.
“Following an enlarged management meeting of the JAMB, the supplementary 2017 UTME has been fixed to hold on Saturday, July 1.
“No fewer than 85,000 candidates are scheduled to write the examination.
“Affected candidates have been notified through text messages.
“By this notice, they are advised to check their e-mail and profile for the schedule of their examination or visit the board’s website for their status,’’ Benjamin said. .
According to him, candidates will soon be requested to print their e-slip for details such as date, venue and time of the examination.
JAMB noted that candidates, who are not listed for the supplementary, would not be communicated while those, whose results are withheld, would reflect in their profiles, which have been updated.
The board also advised rescheduled candidates to comport themselves and be of good behaviour to avoid the circumstance that earlier necessitated the cancellation of their previous examination. (NAN)
