In a bid to thoroughly eliminate examination malpractices and other short-comings experienced in the unified tertiary matriculation examinations (UTME), The regulatory board, JAMB, has decided to introduce three options for the UTME 2013.

Thus, all tertiary institutions aspirant, and 2013 UTME candidates should please be aware that the three available examination options are:

• PPT- PAPER AND PENCIL TEST
