This information was included in the board’s weekly bulletin, which was shared with journalists in Abuja on Monday.
According to the bulletin, the adjustment was made to allow for the completion of all necessary preparations, incorporating various innovations and improvements aimed at making the exam one of the most efficient in history.
It stated that the change in schedule was also intended to accommodate the increased number of exam centres for the test.
“Originally set for Saturday, April 5, 2025, the Mock UTME will now take place on Thursday, April 10, 2025, while the main UTME would start from April 25, 2025.”
“In line with global best practices and recent research on examination methodologies in our region, the board recognises the need for innovative measures to optimise the mock exercise’s intended purpose.”
“Candidates are advised to stay tuned for the announcement regarding the printing of their Mock Notification Slip, which will provide details about the location of their examination centre,” it said.
