JAMB Refutes Claims on Exam Location Restrictions, Confirms UTME Venue Flexibility
Share

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has dismissed claims that candidates for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are restricted to writing the exam in the same state where they registered. The board described the reports as misleading and clarified that candidates are free to choose their examination towns from any part of Nigeria, regardless of their state of registration.

This clarification was issued in a statement by JAMB’s Public Communication Advisor, who explained that the misinformation stemmed from a misinterpreted earlier report. Contrary to the claims, candidates can register for the UTME from any location and freely choose any examination town nationwide.

JAMB emphasized that Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres are organised by towns rather than states to enhance convenience. The board cited an example, noting that a candidate who selects Garki as an exam town will be assigned a centre within Garki, not outside it. However, this town can be in any part of Nigeria, regardless of where the candidate registered.

The board said the clarification was important to prevent confusion, especially as candidates prepare for the 2025 UTME set to begin on April 25. It reiterated that a candidate can register in one state and still select an entirely different state or town for the examination.

Meanwhile, JAMB has released 115,735 results from the 2025 Mock UTME, while 10,446 results are still being processed. A total of 200,113 candidates registered for the mock exam held on April 10, but only 126,181 eventually sat for it.

In a separate development, the board disclosed that it had launched decoy websites designed to expose examination fraud. These sites were part of a sting operation that revealed at least 180 candidates had paid amounts starting from N30,000 for leaked exam content and fake score upgrades. The initiative was part of broader efforts to safeguard the integrity of the UTME and ensure a fair process for all candidates.
