📢 Latest JAMB Updates: What UTME & Direct Entry Candidates Must Know as Exams Draw Near
As preparation for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and Direct Entry (DE) continues nationwide, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has maintained strict guidelines and important policies candidates must take seriously this year.
The UNIHUB CONNECT TV team brings you a compiled summary of verified updates, reminders, and key issues candidates should be aware of as the examination period approaches.
📝 Registration & Profile Guidelines
JAMB continues to emphasise the importance of early profile creation and accurate biodata during registration. Candidates are advised to ensure that their names, date of birth, and other personal details match exactly with their National Identification Number (NIN).
Any discrepancy between NIN records and registration details may lead to serious challenges, as JAMB does not entertain unnecessary corrections after submission.
🏢 Use Only Accredited CBT Centres
Candidates are strongly warned to register and sit for their examinations only at JAMB-accredited CBT centres. Patronising unapproved centres may result in disqualification or loss of registration.
📸 CCTV Monitoring & Exam Integrity
In line with its commitment to examination integrity, JAMB has strengthened its CBT centre monitoring system. Accredited centres are expected to comply with surveillance and operational standards to ensure transparent examination processes.
This move is aimed at discouraging malpractice and ensuring fairness for all candidates nationwide.
📌 Admission Status Declaration
JAMB has reiterated that candidates must truthfully declare their admission status during registration. This includes candidates who may already be admitted into tertiary institutions through previous exercises.
Failure to make honest declarations could attract sanctions, including cancellation of admissions or examination results.
💡 Important Advice to Candidates
- ✔️ Begin preparation early and study consistently.
- ✔️ Avoid rushing registration at the last minute.
- ✔️ Do not rely on unverified social media information.
- ✔️ Follow official JAMB instructions carefully.
- ✔️ Maintain discipline before, during, and after the examination.
As JAMB examinations draw closer, candidates are encouraged to stay informed, remain focused, and prepare responsibly. Success in UTME and DE begins with the right information and proper preparation.
