The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has approved the commencement of registration for the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) from January 14 to February 14, 2023.
JAMB also fixed March 16, 2023, for the conduct of its optional mock-UTME.
The examination body made this known via a statement issued on Tuesday by its spokesperson, Dr Fabian Benjamin.
Benjamin stated that JAMB did not include registration for Direct Entry (DE) application documents, noting that DE registration would commence from February 20 to April 20, 2023.
He noted that JAMB, after considering its other commitments, fixed April 29, 2023, for the conduct of the 2023 UTME, and is expected to end on May 12, 2023.

He stated that candidates would be required to pay N1000 service charge for CBT centres for the conduct of mock examination during registration.
“This is to prevent a situation where candidates would indicate their interest to sit the mock-UTME leading the various centres to commit human and material resources only for them to stay away on the day of the examination.
“With the new arrangement, candidates indicate their interest by paying for the mock at the point of UTME registration, therefore, precluding the centres from incurring any loss whether candidates turn up or not.
“The board advises all candidates, who desire to register for the 2023 UTME to immediately embark on the creation of their respective profiles (creation of profile code) ahead of the formal commencement of the registration exercise to avoid being caught up in any ensuing bottleneck,” the JAMB spokesperson added.
