No Electronic Devices Allowed
JAMB has strictly prohibited all forms of electronic devices in the examination halls. Candidates are not allowed to bring:
- Mobile phones
- Smartwatches or wristwatches
- Calculators
- Earpieces, Bluetooth devices, or headphones
- USB drives, hard disks, or similar gadgets
JAMB officials have warned that any candidate found with any banned device will be disqualified immediately.
Mandatory Biometric Verification
JAMB has made biometric verification mandatory for all candidates before and after the exam. This measure is to prevent impersonation and identity fraud.
- Each candidate must undergo fingerprint verification before being allowed into the examination hall.
- If a candidate fails biometric verification, they will not be allowed to sit for the exam.
Strict Time Management for Exam Sessions
Candidates must arrive at their exam center on time. JAMB has warned that latecomers will not be allowed into the hall. Candidates are advised to:
- Arrive at least one hour before their exam begins.
- Check their exam slip for their center and time to avoid confusion.
- The exam will start exactly at the scheduled time, and no extra time will be given for any reason.
Prohibited Behavior in the Exam Hall
JAMB has warned that any form of malpractice will result in immediate disqualification. Candidates must:
- Avoid copying or communicating with others during the exam.
- Follow all instructions given by invigilators.
- Refrain from engaging in any suspicious activities that could be considered malpractice.
CBT centers will be equipped with CCTV cameras and AI-powered monitoring systems to detect any cheating attempts.
Proper Registration Details and Exam Slip Requirements
JAMB has urged candidates to carefully check their details and ensure that:
- Their name, date of birth, and other personal details match their official documents.
- They bring a printed copy of their exam slip to their CBT center.
- Any mistakes in registration details must be corrected before the exam, as incorrect information may lead to disqualification.
JAMB Urges Candidates to Prepare Properly
As the exam date approaches, JAMB has encouraged candidates to focus on their studies instead of looking for shortcuts. The Board has emphasized that the best way to pass UTME is through proper preparation, not malpractice.
- Use JAMB-recommended textbooks and practice past questions.
- Familiarize themselves with the CBT system to avoid last-minute panic.
- Avoid relying on “expo” or leaked questions, as JAMB has strengthened its security to detect any suspicious activities.
Final Warning: JAMB Will Enforce Rules Strictly
JAMB has made it clear that there will be no tolerance for rule-breakers. Any candidate who violates the 2025 UTME rules will face serious consequences, including:
- Immediate disqualification from the exam.
- A possible ban from taking JAMB in the future.
- Legal action for those caught engaging in serious malpractice.
The Board has urged all candidates to comply with the guidelines, prepare well, and approach the exam with confidence. With the UTME set to begin on April 25, 2025, this is the time for serious preparation and strict adherence to JAMB’s rules.
