Published on

We are getting ready for another exciting JAMB examination season; the JAMB 2020 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination is around the corner. As a result, we have decided to keep you updated with all the happenings as they unfold. In this article, you’ll find out JAMB mock and UTME examination date for 2020.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) is responsible for conducting entrance examinations for prospective undergraduates into Nigerian universities.

Basically, JAMB offers 2 exam types, which are UTME and DE. UTME stands for Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination while DE stands for Direct Entry.

O’level holders are to register as UTME candidates, while ND holders (or equivalent qualifications) are to register as DE candidates.

In general, UTME candidates enrol into the universities and begin from year 1. DE candidates, on the other hand, can start from either 200 level or 300 level, depending on their qualifications.

JAMB 2020 Examination date

The 2020 CBT EXAMINATION is proposed to commence from March 14 to April 4, 2020.

The venue of the examination will be communicated to each student upon the successful completion of their registration.

JAMB 2020 Mock Examination date

The date for MOCK examination shall be from February 18, 2020. There’s no set time for the conclusion of the mock exams for now; however, we expect it to conclude before the start of the exam proper on March 14th.

The Board will conduct the mock examination in all the accredited CBT centres to prepare and familiarise all interested candidates with the CBT environment.

Basically, the Mock provides exactly the same interface and experience as the real CBT exam. So if you’re still confused about how the clicking and typing are going to be like, then the Mock exam should help you clear your doubts.

Registration for the Mock exam shall commence from January 13 to February 1, 2020.

Note that only candidates who registered for the mock shall be allowed to take part in the exam.
