I trust this piece of information will calm the nerves of all candidates intending to registered for the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation board (JAMB) as report reaching us has it that the registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, confirmed that the forms for this year's Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), will be on sale within two weeks.

He said: "For the 2017 UTME, we have taken a decision to commence the sale of the form soon. Within the next two weeks, we will be out.

"The reason for this is that we are making all arrangements that ought to be made. We have changed the process of payment, no more scratch card selling. We need to put the right architecture in place and we have put this in place.

"The examination will be coming up later than usual. This is to make sure we take into consideration the interest of the students. We are going to conduct the UTME in May. It will not clash with any SSCE examinations.

"I did not sit here or my management did not fix the date. We sat down with all examination bodies with their timetables and we agreed to create this window."

He further mentioned that the examination itself will be coming up later in May so it won't clash with any SSCE examinations, and help the board check any form of malpractice, especially upgrading of results.

"Normally, we conduct our examinations around March and the results will be ready within two to three days. But when do we need the results? It is always between July and August. This gives room for all forms of suspicion. continue here: [url]http://www.solaceloaded.com.ng/2017/02/jamb-to-commence-sale-of-utme-form-in-2.html
