“Approved UTME fee remains N3, 500, reading text N500, the registration fee is N700, with N1000 for Computer Based Test (CBT) examination fee and an optional N1000 for mock examination for the candidates,” it said.

The board says it remits to the CBT centres weekly what is due to them, adding that the measure is put in place to stop the extortion of candidates.

It’s added that as part of measures put in place to enhance the sanctity of the examination process, examinations would be allowed to take place an hour after the scheduled commencement time.

It promised to schedule any exam session affected by technical challenges from the board and communicate the date for the rescheduled session to the affected candidates.

“Candidates will be notified of their new schedule centres before they leave the examination centre.

“Furthermore, no candidate will be allowed to spend less than one hour before submission during the examination.

“Late commencement or early departure from the examination hall can jeopardise the conduct of the examination by giving some candidates undue advantage over their contemporaries taking the examination,” it said.

The board has scheduled Direct Entry (DE) registration to commence from February 20 to April 20, while the optional mock- UTME will hold on March 16.

The board is also scheduled to conduct the 2023 UTME on April 29 and end on May 12.
