The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has rescheduled the 2025 Mock UTME from 5th April to 10th April 2025.
The board stated that the adjustment is to ensure all necessary preparations are completed, incorporating a range of innovations designed to make the examination the best in history, while also accommodating the increased number of examination centres for the 2025 exercise.
Originally set for Saturday, 5th April 2025, the Mock UTME will now take place on Thursday, 10th April 2025, while the main UTME is scheduled to commence on 25th April 2025.
A statement by JAMB’s Corporate Communications Adviser, Fabian Benjamin, noted that the board recognises the need for innovative measures to optimise the mock exercise’s intended purpose, in line with global best practices and recent research on examination methodologies in the region.
He advised candidates to stay tuned for the announcement regarding the printing of their Mock Notification Slips, which will provide details of their examination centres.
In other news, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Sani Musa, on Wednesday said that the alleged misappropriation of funds, amounting to a whopping sum of ₦1.1 billion and ₦850 million by the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, was a misrepresentation of facts in the media.
He said that the report was not an accurate reflection of the position of the Senate Committee on Finance, which he chaired, during the appearance of the registrar and officials of the examination body on Monday for the 2025 budget defence.
In a statement issued and made available to National Assembly correspondents in Abuja, he said that the line items in the report provided by JAMB were interrogated and found to be fully compliant, stating that it is a parliamentary rule for heads of government agencies to explain their budget performance before seeking fresh appropriation.
