The 2023 mock UTME experienced widespread delays and technical issues in Lagos and Abuja. JAMB acknowledged the problems and promised to reschedule affected candidates' tests at no cost, working to address the issues for a smoother examination process in April 2023.
The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has rescheduled the 2023 Mock-UTME exam due to a change in the date for the Gubernatorial and State Houses of Assembly Elections.
