The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations (U.T.M.E) is to commence on Tuesday 10th march 2015, Naija Inspirational Hub has gathered. This follows the re-printing of Examination slips for the confirmation of Exam dates and venues by students which commenced on Monday, 2nd March 2015.

In a press conference in Abuja on Thursday 5th march 2015, which was reported by The Nation. The board stated that a total of 1,475,477 candidates registered for the 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) conducted by the Joint Admission, Matriculation and Examination Board (JAMB). It further states that this year’s UTME is scheduled to hold between Tuesday, March 10 and Saturday, March 21 [/b]across 400 centers in the country and seven foreign countries namely – Ghana, Cameroon, Republic of Benin, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Ethiopia.

The JAMB Registrar, [b]Prof. Dibu Ojerinde, also revealed that 208 prison inmates from Kaduna and Ikoyi prisons will write the examination. He, however, lamented that the total number of candidates that registered for the examination was a far cry from the last year’s examination in which 1,632,172 candidates sat for the paper pencil test, the dual based test and computer based test.

While attributing the decline in the number of applications to insecurity in some parts of the country, Prof. Ojerinde explained that there was a decrease of 156,695 applicants compared to last year, adding that the registration process for the computer based examination had also eliminated the incidence of dual or multiple registrations by candidates.

The JAMB Registrar, further debunked insinuations that the Board had postponed the examination, said the transformation to a full blown computer based test became imperative in order to resolve the challenges faced by the Board in the conduct of its examination.

Naija Inspirational Hub hereby wishes all students partaking in this year’s exam all the best. We pray that your story will change for the better this year, by the special grace of God
