The 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME has begun on Tuesday April 25th, and run till Wednesday 3rd May, 2023.
Information from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB indicated that the examination would be conducted for over 1.6 million candidates who registered for the 2023 UTME.
Candidates are being checked into the examination hall using the Biometric Verification Machine, BVM which is also a register of attendance in line with the Board’s policy of “no biometric verification, no examination.”
JAMB spokesman, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, told Journalists that all was set for the start of the examination and JAMB has put in all measures to ensure smooth conduct of the examination.
Dr. Fabian had in a statement earlier in the week advised candidates who registered for the exercise to print their 2023 UTME notification slips which contains information on location of candidate’s examination centre, date of scheduled sessions, time of the examination and other necessary information.
He also said ban on prohibited items is still in force, thus asking candidates to be careful not to run foul of the law as necessary sanctions would be meted out to violators of its code of conduct.
He listed the banned items within the examination hall to include but not limited to flash drives, smart watches, calculators, recorders, mobile phones, spy reading glasses, jeweleries, among others.
