A statement in Lagos by the board’s spokesman, Fabian Benjamin, said that arrangements had been concluded for the smooth conduct of the examination, scheduled for May 17 to May 31.
According to the statement, the CBT is to hold in over 163 centres in Nigeria and abroad.

It advised candidates to reprint their e-slips in the event they missed or misplaced their schedules.
The statement said that the board would commence full-blown CBT in 2015 UTME, adding that the exercise would help to sanitise the education sector.
The CBT, which was introduced in 2012, had its maiden edition in 2013.
