The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has cautioned candidates and the public against spreading false claims that candidates are posted outside their chosen exam towns for the 2025 UTME.
How Exam Centres Are Assigned
- During registration, candidates select their preferred exam town.
- JAMB assigns candidates to a centre within the town they chose.
- No candidate is posted to a different town.
Cash Reward for Proof
JAMB is offering a reward to anyone who can provide verifiable proof that a candidate was posted outside their selected town.
- Proof must be submitted within 96 hours.
- Send proof to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) via WhatsApp: 08056003030.
- The FCCPC will investigate and either process the reward or clear JAMB’s name.
Importance of Early Arrival
Candidates are reminded to arrive at their exam centres at least 90 minutes before the start of their exam.
- Early arrival allows time for verification and other necessary procedures.
- JAMB compared it to how travelers arrive early before flights.
A Lesson from a Recent Event

JAMB emphasized that hard work is key to success in their examinations.
Important Advice
- Ignore false information about exam postings.
