The 2024 mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) witnessed the participation of over 260,000 candidates across 793 computer-based test (CBT) centres nationwide.

The mock exam, held on Thursday, served as a preparatory exercise for candidates ahead of the main UTME scheduled to commence on April 19.

Ishaq Oloyede, the Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), provided insights into the conduct of the mock exam after personally monitoring activities at various centres in Abuja.

He highlighted that the purpose of the mock UTME was to assess the readiness of candidates for the upcoming main UTME.

Furthermore, Oloyede disclosed that JAMB had also conducted a recruitment examination for the Nigerian police force on Wednesday, demonstrating the board’s commitment to facilitating various examinations efficiently.

Addressing concerns about disruptions during the mock UTME, Oloyede acknowledged minor incidents in about four centres but assured that measures were in place to address them promptly. He emphasized the board’s dedication to ensuring a smooth examination process for all candidates.

According to Oloyede, out of the 1.98 million candidates registered for the main 2024 UTME, over 260,000 candidates participated in the mock exam. He announced that the results of the mock UTME would be released either on March 7 or 8.

The registrar emphasized JAMB’s cautious approach in limiting mock exam registrations to prevent it from overshadowing the main UTME. He underscored the board’s commitment to maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the examination process.

“We don’t want to turn our mock into another exam. That is why we did not allow more to register for the mock exam,” Oloyede stated. “We know we are doing some internal revolution this year of which we were apprehensive of the workability. We can now say we have arrived; what we said to ourselves about six, seven years ago, we have been able to achieve it today.”
