No fewer than 260,000 candidates sat for Mock-Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (Mock UTME) in 793 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres across the country.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this after monitoring the mock exam in some of the centres in Abuja.
The registrar also said that 1.98 million candidates registered for the main 2024 UTME which would would hold from April 19 to 29.
Oloyede, who expressed delight over the seamless conduct of the exercise nationwide, said the exam was to test the preparedness for the main UTME, which would commence on April 19, 2024.
He said that the Board had successfully conducted recruitment examination for Nigerian Police on Wednesday, adding that the only few incidents recorded in the Mock UTME in about four centres would be resolved.
“So far, we are doing mock after mock, just yesterday we conducted recruitment for the Police Service Commission throughout the country, that was a mock before today’s mock.
”That mock was in 411 centres across the country, and today we are conducting our own mock in 793 centres across the country.
“So far, we have about three or four places where they have one issue or the other, but we are trying to get over that.
“So, it is a good one, even in those three where there are issues, we will have a way of accommodating them even if they go down completely. But everything is going on well and the reports we have, is that we are very okay,” he said.
