Exam closing date
The examinations, which are being conducted in 750 CBT centres approved by the Board, will end on May 16, 2022.
An official of the board ruled out the rescheduling of the examination for some candidates who missed the UTME examination as a result of heavy downpours in Lagos and other major cities.

The official added that only candidates affected by technical challenges as a result of their centres would have the opportunity to retake the examination.
