The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) mock examination will now be held on April nineth, and not April sixteenth as earlier scheduled.
The board made this known in its Weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar in Abuja.
JAMB said that the change was due to the realisation that April sixteenth, earlier scheduled for the exercise, was an Easter Saturday; a Holy Saturday celebrated by Christians to mark the end of the Lenten period before Easter Sunday.
The board also noted that the date for the exercise had been affected also by the shift in the date for the registration of the UTME and Direct Entry, which was earlier scheduled for February twelfth, but later commenced on February nineth.
It, however, urged all candidates who registered and would want to sit for the mock exercise to note the change of the dates and get prepared.
