Jamb 2017: Sale of Forms to Begin on March 20 to End Next Month

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will begin the sale of the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) forms on Monday, March 20 and end on Wednesday 19th April, 2017.

JAMB’s Head of Public Relations, Fabian Benjamin, made this known on Monday in Bwari, Abuja, adding that the date was fixed following an agreement that was reached on the harmonization of the examination time-table at a meeting with other exam bodies on January 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.

Recently, the board 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 JAMB, 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 centers would soon be announced.
