JAMB To Commence Sales Of Form Soon, Agrees On Exam Timetable With WAEC, NECO, NABTEB

The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) yesterday disclosed its intentions to unite with other examination bodies (WAEC, NECO and NABTEB) to tackle problems which the body is facing

in lieu of the upcoming 2017 UTME. It also made an agreement to tailor the examination time-table together with the other bodies.

In a statement made by JAMB’s Spokeman, Dr Fabian Benjamin in Abuja, “the harmonised examination timetable had put to rest problems arising from overlapping of examination dates which would have disqualified a goof number of candidates from participating in the examination.”

It was decided at the meeting that WAEC from 2018, between March and April, will allow a period of two weeks 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 without hitches.

The statement also revealed that the examination bodies agreed that for the purpose of the 2017 UTME, JAMB would 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 its 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)." the statement added
