-The Joint Admission and Matriculations Board
(JAMB) says it will begin the sale of the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) forms on March 20.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Head of Public
Relations made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
on Monday in Bwari.
Benjamin said the date was fixed following an
agreement that was reached on the harmonization of the examination timetable at
a meeting with other exam bodies on Jan. 24.
“We will begin the sale of the admission forms
on March 20, while UTME is scheduled to hold in May.
“We are ready to commence the sales of the 2017/2018 admission forms for UTME and Direct Entry forms on the said date,’’ he said.

NAN reports that JAMB recently emphasized that
it would organise an optional mock examination before the 2017 UTME.
Based on information published on its Twitter
handle @JAMBHQ, the date of the Mock examination will soon be announced.
According to the board, the purpose of the
mock examination is to allow candidates “FEEL’’ what the main examination will
be like.
The board, however, said the mock examination
would be “completely optional’’ as it would not be a pre-requirement for
writing the actual UTME.
It added that candidates can choose to either
take the mock examination or not.
The board also disclosed that Interswitch
Payment on the e-Facility portal has been temporarily disabled and that the
list of its accredited centres soon be announced.
