The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reiterated its commitment to maintaining the integrity of the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) by enforcing strict regulations to prevent cheating.
In the latest developments, JAMB has issued a comprehensive list of prohibited items, aiming to create a fair testing environment for all candidates. These banned items, such as mobile phones, smartwatches, pens, and calculators, have been identified as potential tools for examination malpractice. JAMB's zero-tolerance policy towards cheating underscores the importance of adhering to these regulations to ensure a level playing field for all test-takers.
Furthermore, candidates are urged to avoid decorative designs or tattoos on their palms, which could interfere with biometric screening processes. In addition to outlining prohibited items, JAMB emphasizes the importance of parental involvement and punctuality. Parents are advised to familiarize themselves with JAMB regulations and discourage loitering near exam centers.
Moreover, punctuality is emphasized, with candidates arriving late facing strict consequences, including being marked absent and barred from participating in the exam. By enforcing these measures, JAMB aims to uphold the integrity of the UTME and safeguard the prospects of Nigerian students
