The Digest:
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has announced that candidates registered for the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination can begin printing their notification slips from Monday, March 23. The mock exam is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, and will run for four hours instead of the traditional two, with two consecutive sessions from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. JAMB Registrar Is-haq Oloyede emphasized that participation is mandatory for registered candidates, warning that those who fail to sit for the exam waste slots that others could have used.
Key Points:
- The extended four-hour mock exam allows candidates to gain sufficient exposure to the Computer-Based Test environment before the main UTME.
- Participation is mandatory, reflecting JAMB's commitment to ensuring all registered candidates utilize the preparatory opportunity.
- Candidates must print their slips via the JAMB website to locate their assigned centers within their chosen examination towns.
- The mock exam serves as a critical testing ground for the CBT system ahead of the main examination.
- Candidates who registered but do not attend are cautioned that they have taken slots from other interested candidates.
