The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, (JAMB) has rescheduled its 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for 24,535 candidates.
This reschedule follows a comprehensive investigation of certain Computer-Based Test Centres and their indictment for the
substantial non-compliance with JAMB’s standards.
The affected candidates for which the exams were rescheduled were initially billed to write the exams there last March.
The board also directed affected candidates to print their supplementary Examination Notification Slips from Tuesday, 4th June, 2024, to ascertain their designated examination centres.
This is contained in a statement signed on Sunday by JAMB’s spokesman, Dr Fabian Benjamin.
