Governor Dapo Abiodun has ordered the Ogun civil service commission chairman to refund all administrative fees collected from jobseekers.
The examination body said the plans was to start with the objective questions mode and later add that of theory and practicals.
Mr Benjamin said about 80,000 candidates who could not sit for the 2023 UTME within their scheduled time sat the rescheduled UTME across the country.
A total of 1.5 million candidates would be sitting for this year’s examination in 740 centres across the country.
The mock examination tests JAMB’s preparedness and that of its partners for UTME.
According to him, the 817 students will re-register for the exam, with the centres bearing the cost.
Rather than the stipulated N5,700, the suspended vendors went as far as charging N6,500 and N8,700. The Mock fee not included.
Candidates would purchase an e-PIN for N3,500 subsidised by the federal government, N500 compulsory reading text and a N700 regulated charge for CBT centres.
JAMB says it will start collecting the N700 registration fee for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) from 2022 to end CBT centres’ extortion.
NECO registrar says the body would introduce computer-based examination.
