The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says the 2021 Mock examination earlier scheduled to hold on Saturday, April 30, has now been rescheduled to hold on Thursday, May, 20.
“This change of date is owing to some ongoing adjustments in the Board’s operational processes,” Fabian Benjamin
Head, Public Affairs and Protocol at JAMB said in a statement on Sunday.
He noted that the change would not affect other schedules including the date for UTME fixed for 5 to 19 June, 2021.
According to him, candidates who have registered and have chosen to sit for the Mock and other critical stakeholders are to note this change of date.
Meanwhile, Benjamin reiterated that the 2021 UTME/DE registration exercise is ongoing and would end on May 15.
“The Board has, however, noted with concern that some candidates in trying to generate their profiles are sending their details wrongly to 55019,” he said.
“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.”
