The Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board has directed candidates for the
2018 UTME to start printing their examination notification slip
from Tuesday, March 6.
The
board’s Head of Media and Information Department, Dr Fabian
Benjamin, said in Lagos on Sunday that arrangements had been
concluded for the successful conduct of the exam scheduled to hold
from March 9 to March 17.
“We have
successfully conducted the Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) on Monday, February 26, and based on that, we can
confidently say, we are good to go.
“The
mock UTME was to expose the candidates to the process as well as test
the level of preparedness of the various centres.
“Candidates
can now go ahead and print their examination notification slips
from Tuesday.
“These
candidates must ensure that these slips are printed before Friday,
March 9, in order to familiarise themselves with the examination
schedules as no form of excuse for missing the examination will be
entertained.
“We want
to warn that the board will not reschedule any examination for
anybody and so any candidate that fails to adhere strictly to the
examination schedule as stated in their slips should have himself
or herself to blame.”
Benjamin,
however, warned candidates not to go to their respective centres with
prohibited items such as telephones, wristwatches, pens, and other
devices.
NAN
reports that over 1.6 million candidates are expected to write the
examination in 602 centres across the country.
