The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says candidates that could not sit for the 2023 UTME would be rescheduled for the examination on May 6.
This is contained in a statement by the board’s Head, Public Affairs and Protocol, Dr Fabian Benjamin, in Abuja on Monday.
Benjamin said candidates under these categories were those who were verified at their centres but could not sit the examination, those who could not be biometrically verified, and those with mismatched data.
”You will recall that the Board scheduled the conduct of the 2023 UTME from April 25 to May 2.
“This notwithstanding, out of the 1,586,765 candidates that indicated interest in sitting the examination, only 80,166 are now outstanding,” he said.
Benjamin said on the first day of the UTME, a number of candidates in some centres could not sit the examination as well as in some centres in subsequent days due to diverse reasons.
He added that though a reasonable number of them had been rescheduled and had taken the examination, some were yet to take their examination.
