The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB has assured candidates sitting for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination that they would not be denied the opportunity of writing the examination.
The Head of Public Relations, JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, gave the assurance in Lagos following fears concerning a clash in the timetable of West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE and UTME.
According to the timetable, WAEC students who are expected to write Animal Husbandry on April eleventh by 9:00 a.m. are also expected to sit for the UTME on the same day.
Dr Benjamin, who explained that WAEC starts with practicals that have so many sessions, announced that they have met with WAEC management who gave them assurance that there is no clash and blamed it on lack of understanding of the modus operandi of the timetable especially as
it affects the practicals by the people.
He categorically stated that there is no clash at all and that allegation of a clash in timetable is unfounded and baseless.
Dr Benjamin further said that WAEC has given them an assurance that it has accommodated all the fears of candidates, explaining that the practical subjects are scheduled in sections in such a way that there would not be any clash between UTME and WASCCE at all.
