PEACE POLY HOLDS 2023 MOCK-UTME IN HER CAMPUS

The Joint Admissions & Matriculation Board (JAMB), on Thursday conducted the 2023 Mock-UTME  in 725 centres across the nation.

As previously anticipated, the exercise witnessed some hitches in a few centres with some candidates unable to sit the examination. Candidates will be rescheduled to sit the examination at a date to be announced later at no cost to them.

The Board would look at all issues thrown up by the mock exercise and act accordingly for a better and enhanced exercise.

The introduction of the Mock-UTME by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board was aimed at providing the Board with the opportunity to assess innovations that would be used for the main examination as well as allow candidates to have hands-on experiences on the CBT environment.

The exercise, which was introduced over six years ago, has availed the Board a unique opportunity to trial innovations that have significantly improved on the Board’s ability to deliver world-class assessment exercise.

It would be recalled that before the conduct of the 2023 exercise, the Board had, in a statement,  disclosed that it would be introducing some new measures that had never been used before and would want to use the opportunity of the mock exercise to assess their functionality.

The Board would want to use this opportunity to apologise to all candidates for any inconvenience they might have experienced on account of this. This is part of a development process aimed at enhancing the Board’s efforts at improving the quality, security and sanctity of its services and as well as using same to herald the next phase of its transformational agenda.

The exercise also gave the Board the rare opportunity of fine-tuning this process for better results.

The Board expresses its appreciation to the candidates and their parents for their understanding and pledges to ensure that the system for which their sacrifice is made is perfected.
