No fewer than 260,000 candidates today sat for this year’s Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination across 793 Computer-Based Test centres across the country.
The Registrar of JAMB, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, made this known after monitoring some of the centres in Abuja.
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 will commence on Friday, 19th April 2024.
He revealed that the exam body also successfully conducted a 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.
Speaking further, the JAMB boss said that 1.98 million candidates registered for the main 2024 UTME out of which over 260,000 took part in the mock exam.
On the readiness for the main UTME, Oloyede said JAMB was fully prepared for the smooth conduct of the exam, even as he revealed that new mechanisms would also be deployed to further fortify the exam system.
Oloyede revealed that the results of the Mock UTME will either be released today in the evening or tomorrow (Friday).
