The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has assured candidates that for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), no one will be required to sit for the exam outside their state of registration.
This assurance was given by Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, in a telephone interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Abuja.
Dr. Benjamin explained that while some candidates had to sit for the UTME mock examination outside their state of residence due to limited availability of approved Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres, this was an exception for the mock session only.
“For example, if centres in Abuja were filled up and there were available centres in Nassarawa State, candidates would be redirected there,” he said.
However, he assured that this situation would not occur during the main UTME, as all registered CBT centres would be operational.
“This will not happen in the main examination because there will be more centres conducting the exams, ensuring no candidate will be sent outside their state of registration,” Dr. Benjamin concluded.
