Here are the reasons JAMB may not allow candidates who missed the UTME exam to be rescheduled.

Late arrival at CBT centre

UTME candidates who arrived late to the CBT centre and were unable to write their examination won't be rescheduled.

JAMB does not tolerate lateness from candidates during UTME and will not give them another opportunity to rewrite the exam.

Miscommunication

JAMB will also not reschedule UTME candidates who missed the examination due to miscommunication.

This can be about the date, time and venue of the examination.

Candidates are advised to double-check all details to avoid falling into this category as the examination body does not consider it grounds for a reschedule.

Incomplete Registration
