JAMB has cautioned Computer-Based Test (CBT) centers against registering candidates for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) during nighttime hours.

In a statement on Sunday by its Public Communication Advisor, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, JAMB stressed that all registration activities must take place during appropriate hours to ensure the safety and security of prospective candidates.

While acknowledging the efforts of some centres to accommodate more candidates, the board stressed that such practices should not compromise their well-being.

“JAMB publicly named and cautioned the following centres for violating its registration guidelines:

Thomas Adewumi University in Oko, Kwara State;

CBT Centre Otukpo in Otukpo, Benue State;

Ebenezer International School in Port Harcourt, Rivers State;

Jigawa State College of Education, Gumel Centre 1 in Gumel, Jigawa State;

Lafiagi Emirate Information Technology & Innovation Hub in Lafiagi, Kwara State;

Zulqud Consult Ltd (ZCL CBT Center) in Lugbe, Abuja;

Klinnicapps Academy in Okuku, Yala, Cross River State;

Sani Mikaila Comprehensive College in Jos, Plateau State;

Beeps Technology Limited in Ogoja, Cross River State;

and FZX Media Consulting Limited inside Havilla University in Ikom, Cross River State.”

JAMB stated that this notice served as a final warning, and no further notifications would be issued before disciplinary action is taken.

“JAMB will not tolerate violations of its registration regulations and will take appropriate measures against any centre engaged in such activities,” the statement read.

The board reaffirmed its commitment to a fair and secure UTME registration process, urging all accredited centres to adhere strictly to guidelines and prioritize candidate safety over financial gain.

It also cautioned parents against making unfounded allegations against universities over perceived unfair denial of admission to their children.

The statement followed a series of complaints, including one by Mr. Godwin Nsan, who accused the University of Calabar of unjustly denying his son admission.

JAMB clarified that Nsan’s son scored 201 in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) with an aggregate score of 34%, falling short of the university’s cut-off marks—55% (Merit), 35% (Catchment), and 35% (ELDS).

“He unfairly criticised the university, but when he eventually provided the required details, it was evident that his child did not meet the admission criteria,” Benjamin explained.

Similarly, JAMB dismissed allegations of admission irregularities at Modibbo Adama University, Yola, after investigations found no wrongdoing.

In another case, a father claimed his son, who scored 345 in UTME, was unjustly denied admission by the University of Jos.

JAMB invited them for clarification, revealing that the candidate ranked 86th, while only 68 candidates could be admitted on merit.

“A score of 345 may seem impressive, but in some universities, it might rank a candidate as low as 300, depending on the institution’s subscription capacity. The father later apologised after understanding the ranking process,” Benjamin added.

JAMB also cautioned against the misuse of its “exceptionally brilliant window,” meant for candidates under 16 years old.

The Board noted that an unrealistic number of candidates were being registered under this category, unlike global standards where only a select few qualify.

Reaffirming its commitment to fair and transparent admissions, JAMB revealed that a senior university official is currently facing prosecution for admission fraud, with four others under investigation.

“We urge parents to avoid jumping to conclusions and consider the performance of other candidates. UTME is a ranking exam that determines a candidate’s position within a cohort for the limited admission slots available in our tertiary institutions,” Benjamin stated
