The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has announced a new date for the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) supplementary exams. This decision comes in response to the disruptions caused by technical issues and other unforeseen circumstances during the initial examination period.
New Examination Date
The supplementary UTME is now scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 22, 2024. The board has taken extensive measures to ensure that all affected candidates have ample time to prepare and participate in the rescheduled exams.
Reason for Rescheduling
JAMB’s Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, stated that the rescheduling was necessary to accommodate candidates who experienced technical difficulties, biometric verification issues, and other logistical challenges during the original exam dates. “We are committed to providing all candidates with a fair and equitable opportunity to complete their examinations without any hindrance,” said Professor Oloyede.
To prevent future disruptions, JAMB has implemented several technological and administrative enhancements. These measures include improved biometric verification systems and enhanced technical support at examination centres.
Instructions for Affected Candidates
Print New Examination Slips:
Candidates must reprint their examination slips, which will reflect the new date and other relevant details. This can be done through the JAMB slip printing portal.
Arrive Early:
Candidates are reminded to arrive at their examination centers at least one hour before the scheduled time to complete necessary verification processes.
