“The exam centers are subject to change and candidates must regularly check the portal prior to the exam for any changes."

The Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB) has postponed its pre-registration exams (Stage I & II) and pre-enrolment exams (Level I & II) which were scheduled to take place from May 27, 2024, to May 31, 2024.

In a statement on Wednesday, May 22, PPB noted that the postponement of the exams is due to factors beyond its control.

The board said the professional exams would be held from June 17, 2024, to June 20, 2024.

“The Pharmacy and Poisons Board will conduct the above Pre-registration Exams (Stage I & II) and pre-enrolment exams (Level I & II) from 17th to 20th June 2024, and not 27th to 31st May 2024 as communicated earlier. This is due to factors beyond our control,” read the statement in part.

PPB said the exams will be administered online, in the respective examination centers, and the PPB online services portal will be open until May 31, 2024.

The board noted that candidates are required to select their preferred examination center as earlier indicated.

“The exam centers are subject to change and candidates must regularly check the portal prior to the exam for any changes,” PPB stated.

The candidates are also required to obtain a suitable computer device with internet access, fully charged, and which can store power to run for at least 3 hours.

Further, the board announced there will be mock exams to test and familiarize candidates with the PPB online examinations portal.

“The dates for the mock exams will be communicated in due course. The mock exams will be done at home. Candidates with a disability or health issue that may affect their ability to sit for online exams must immediately notify the Board in writing, together with supporting medical evidence,” PPB added.
