Among these, 630 candidates have also registered for the trial mock examination, which will take place on the same date,” the board noted
With registration now closed, JAMB has shifted focus to examination security, implementing new anti-cheating measures to ensure the integrity of the test.
According to the bulletin, these measures have already resulted in the arrest of multiple candidates attempting to gain admission using forged A-level results.
JAMB cautioned candidates against engaging in any form of malpractice, emphasising that strict monitoring systems have been put in place to detect and penalise fraud.
The Board warned all candidates to strictly adhere to examination guidelines and refrain from any dishonest practices.
It emphasised that UTME registration is separate from school-based exams like WAEC and NECO, urging stakeholders to acknowledge this distinction and adhere to its registration protocols.
