The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has fixed Thursday, 20th of May, 2021 for this year’s mock examination.
The mock examination was earlier billed to hold on Saturday, April, 30th.
The new date as announced contained in a statement issues by the body’s Head of Public Affairs and Protocol, Fabian Benjamin.The statement explained that the development will not, however, affect other Mock Examination schedules and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) fixed for 5th to 19th June 2021.
According to the statement, “This change of date is owing to some ongoing adjustments in the Board’s operational processes.
“Candidates who have registered and have chosen to sit the Mock and other critical stakeholders are to note this change of date.”
The examination body equally reminded stakeholders that registration for the 2021 UTME/DE registration exercise is ongoing and will end on 15th May 2021.
JAMB raised concern, however, that candidates, in trying to generate their profiles, are 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 stated.
