The JAMB registrar, Ishaq Oloyede, announced the date during a stakeholders’ meeting in Abuja.

Oloyede said the UTME will commence between March 14 and April 14.

He also stated that an optional mock examination for candidates would also take place on February 18, 2020. Registration for the exams will start on January 13 and end on February 17.

“The Board would ONLY register candidates with NIN.”

The board also stated that all payments should be made directly to the board and warned against unauthorised financial transactions with its staff.
