By Sadiq Aminu The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, says ninety percent of the available spaces for the optional mock exercise across the country have been filled, leaving only a few states with available slots.
A statement from the Board reveals that the remaining slots for the optional mock examination are Gombe, Jigawa, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Plateau, Sokoto, Taraba, and Yobe.
It advises candidates interested in taking the mock examination in these states to select their examination towns consciously and consider the implications of their choices such as travel logistics and convenience, to ensure a smooth experience on examination day.
The statement recognizes that while candidates have the right to choose their preferred examination town, they are warned against desperately selecting examination towns, only to later accuse the Board of assigning them to towns that are far from their residences, towns, or states.
According to the statement, observations by the Board shows unusual preferences among candidates regarding their choice of examination towns.
It emphasizes that the Board does not select examination towns for candidates taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) or the Optional Mock examination.
The statement explains that the Board allocates Mock examination spaces for candidates to select based on the availability of Mock examination centres, and once a town’s capacity is reached, it will no longer be available for selection.
