Security Measures
JAMB has implemented new anti-cheating measures to ensure the integrity of the test. These measures have already led to the arrest of multiple candidates attempting to gain admission using forged A-level results. Candidates are warned to refrain from any form of malpractice, as strict monitoring systems are in place to detect and penalize fraud.
Key Reminders
- UTME registration is separate from school-based exams like WAEC and NECO.
- Candidates must strictly adhere to examination guidelines and refrain from any dishonest practices.
As the examination approaches, candidates are advised to intensify their preparations and stay informed about the latest updates from JAMB. Best of luck!
