The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially clarified that candidates for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are free to sit for their exams in any location across Nigeria, regardless of their state of registration. This announcement addresses and corrects recent misinformation suggesting that candidates must take the exam in the state where they registered.
Flexibility in Exam Location
JAMB’s recent statement emphasizes that candidates have the liberty to choose their preferred examination town during the registration process. For instance, a candidate who registers in Lagos can opt to take the exam in Sokoto or any other part of the country. This flexibility aims to accommodate candidates’ varying circumstances and preferences.
Importance of Thoughtful Selection
While candidates have the freedom to choose their exam locations, JAMB advises them to make these selections thoughtfully. The board has observed instances where candidates select distant examination towns, potentially leading to logistical challenges. Candidates are encouraged to consider travel logistics and convenience to ensure a smoother examination experience.
Addressing Misconceptions
JAMB’s clarification comes in response to misleading publications that inaccurately claimed candidates are restricted to taking exams only in their state of registration. By debunking these myths, JAMB aims to ensure that candidates are well-informed and can make decisions that best suit their individual needs.
This development underscores JAMB’s commitment to providing a flexible and accommodating examination process for all candidates. By allowing candidates to choose their examination locations, JAMB facilitates greater accessibility and convenience, contributing to a more equitable educational environment.
