JAMB DIRECTS MOCK CANDIDATES TO PAY #1000 TO CBT CENTRES AS CHARGES

All candidates who had indicated their interest to sit the
optional Mock-UTME are to pay N1,000 to the CBT centre
where they are assigned to sit the examination as a
service charge.
The optional mock examination was introduced by the
Board to give candidates the opportunity to familiarise
themselves with the CBT environment.

The candidates who indicated their interest to take the
examination are to pay the N1000 at their respective
centres for the use of the private facilities deployed for
the examination.
However, candidates assigned to JAMB
owned centres would not be required to pay for the use of
the centres.

Much as the Board would like to keep the cost at a
minimum, the prevailing high cost of diesel and other
consumables has necessitated the increase from N600 to
N1,000 to enable the CBT centres provide the needed
infrastructure, as partners of the Board, to host the
examination which is scheduled to hold on Saturday, 9th
April
2022.

The Board has thought through this increase and resolved
that instead of cancelling the mock-UTME, which
introduction has improved candidates’ confidence in
sitting the examination owing to the high cost of diesel, it
is better to increase the service charge to make the
exercise worthwhile to participating centres.
