The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has agreed on a harmonized timetable with other stakeholders (WAEC, NABTEB, NECO) in the country to have a hitch free examination.

According to the JAMB's Head of Information, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement in Abuja, the harmonised examination timetable will put to rest problems arising from overlapping of examination dates which would have disqualified a whole lots of candidates from participating in the examination.

At the end of the brainstorming session, the bodies resolved that WAEC would speak to all its authorities that from 2018, between March and April, for a window of two (2) weeks be created where all other examinations that have nothing to do with Nigeria will be held so as to allow a window for JAMB to conduct its examination

The statement also revealed that the examination bodies agreed that for the purpose of the 2017 UTME, JAMB would shift its examinations to allow students face WAEC, NECO and NABTEB.

“However, a 10-day window for JAMB’S UTME has been created by all examination bodies for JAMB to conduct its examination.

In view of this, JAMB will soon announce the commencement of sale of the 2017/2018 admission forms for UTME and Direct Entry (DE) candidates."
