JAMB has stated that the reason for adjusting the date of the UTME is to make room for other major national assignments, with the hope that no citizen would be denied the opportunity to carry out their civic responsibilities. It is important to note that the Board cannot shift its examination forward, as other public examinations are scheduled to begin in early May 2023. Additionally, the Board needs to accommodate institutions with a stable academic calendar, so they can resume as planned.
