The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has acknowledged technical glitches that disrupted the 2026 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination on Saturday, promising a comprehensive review to address the lapses.
In a bulletin released Monday, JAMB spokesperson Fabian Benjamin said the mock examination offered the board an opportunity to assess its preparedness for the forthcoming April UTME.
The statement came as thousands of candidates were reportedly stranded at examination centres on Saturday due to server failures, power outages, and delayed start times. Some candidates, who arrived at their centres as early as 6 a.m., had to wait for hours before attempting the exam, prompting frustration among parents and social media users.
The bulletin added that the mock exam also gave candidates the chance to familiarise themselves with the Computer-Based Test environment.
