Innovations JAMB Would Introduce in 2023 UTME

JAMB has said that they will introduce some ground-breaking innovations with respect to the 2023 UTME. These innovations would be geared towards addressing infractions and center failures.

For example, if there is a delay of up to one hour before the commencement of a particular session, JAMB would cancel that session. Shortly after the cancellation, JAMB will reschedule both the session and the candidates.

However, for candidates affected by rescheduling, such candidates must be notified of their new sessions or centers. And they must receive the notification before they leave their original center.

In addition, no candidate would be allowed to spend less than one hour before submission of responses during the UTME.

More so, it would be impossible for candidates to login after one hour of activation of examination.

If for any reason an examination session cannot hold, candidates are not to panic for any reason. JAMB will simply schedule them for the next available session which could be that same day.

There will be a “Holding Area” where candidates who might experience delays to log into the system can move to for further instructions.

In the 2023 main JAMB exam, many sessions will be cancelled for various reasons but JAMB will reschedule those sessions. So there is no cause for alarm.

However, candidates must note that the rescheduled sessions are exclusive for those whose examination session could not hold for one reason or another. It is not for those who were marked LATE or ABSENT for their session.
