JAMB Reduces Examination Hours

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has stated that candidates sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, would from this year onwards spend two hours instead of the three hours that used to be the case.

This was disclosed in Kaduna on Wednesday by the JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, during the opening ceremony of a strategic planning retreat on the monitoring, supervision and evaluation of 2017 UTME with the theme: “Inclusiveness and sensitisation of key external actors”.

He explained that the reduction of hours was in line with international best standards and practices where no candidate is kept in an examination such as UTME for more than two hours.
