Good news emanating from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has it that the board is set to commence of sale of the 2017/2018 admission forms for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE).
This agreement was reached at the national headquarters of the Board in Abuja on Tuesday, January 24, after a meeting with National Examination Council (NECO), West African Examination Council (WAEC) and National Business and Technical Examination (NABTEB) to harmonize the timetable.
This was contained in a statement made available to schoolwatch.com.ng by JAMB’s Head, Information Fabian Benjamin.
The statement said harmonised examination timetable has put to rest problems arising from overlapping of examination dates, which would have disenfranchised a sizeable number of candidates.
At the end of the brainstorming session, the statement said the bodies resolved that WAEC would speak to all its authorities that from 2018, between March and April, for a window of two weeks be created where all other examinations that have nothing to do with Nigeria will be held so as to allow a window for JAMB to conduct its examination.
“The bodies agreed that for the purpose of the 2017 UTME, JAMB will shift its examinations to allow students face WAEC, NECO and NABTEB.
However, a 10-day window for JAMB’S UTME has been created by all examination bodies for JAMB to conduct it’s examination. In view of this, JAMB will soon announce the commencement of sale of the 2017/2018 admission forms for UTME and Direct Entry (DE).
Meanwhile, JAMB said it has not commenced the sales of its application documents and that the forms will be out as soon as all critical planning are concluded to ensure a smooth examination in 2017.
