JAMB said notification slips for candidates who had registered for the Mock-UTME scheduled for Thursday, 30th March 2023, would be ready for printing from Thursday, 23rd March 2023.

On Thursday, a statement issued by the Head of Public Affairs and Protocol of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, urged all mock UTME candidates to visit the JAMB website for their notification slips.

“Visit https://www.jamb.gov.ng. CLICK on 2023 Mock-UTME on the MENU button to print their slips after inputting their Registration Number. This directive only applies to candidates who indicated an interest in taking the mock examination.

”The Notification Slip would contain the Candidates’ Registration Number, Venue, Date, and Time of the Examination to enable them to quickly locate their centres before the examination.

Candidates are also enjoined to be at their centres one hour before the examination for biometric verification.“The Board also reiterated that the scheduled commencement time for the test is sacrosanct. In addition, the Board restated its zero tolerance for examination malpractice.

“In the same vein, candidates are advised against entering the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, and phones, among others.

They are also warned to desist from applying “ladle” to do fancied drawings and paintings on their hands to avoid unnecessary interference with the whorls of their fingers, which could impede biometric verification,” the statement read.
