The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has postponed the 2021 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) till May 20, 2021.
The exam was to hold on Saturday, 30th April, 2021, but had to be rescheduled owing to adjustment in operational processes, according to a press statement by Fabian Benjamin, Head, Public Affairs of the organisation.
The board said the change would not affect other schedules, including the date for the UTME, fixed for June 5 to 19.
The spokesman informed all stakeholders that the 2021 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) registration is still ongoing and will end on 15th May 2021.
The board expressed concern that some candidates, in trying to generate their profiles, were sending their details wrongly to 55019.
“The right process is to send the word “NIN” allow one space in between, then insert the eleven digits NIN number to 55019 e.g. NIN 00000000000.
“Any other process is wrong and would not generate the profile code for the candidate. It is also necessary for the candidate to know that only the SIM that is linked to his/her NIN can be used to send the NIN to 55019”, the statement added.
