The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has cancelled the registration of 817 candidates due to irregularities found during the examination process. The board stated that it has zero tolerance for any form of misconduct and will take all necessary measures to ensure the integrity of the examination is maintained. The affected candidates will be unable to sit for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) and are advised to follow due process in resolving the issue. JAMB has urged all candidates to be truthful and honest in their dealings during the examination process to avoid facing similar consequences.
JAMB is responsible for conducting the UTME, which is a mandatory examination for individuals seeking admission into Nigerian universities. The exam measures the candidate’s ability in relevant subjects, such as mathematics and English, and helps the universities determine the suitability of the candidate for admission. The UTME is held annually and is a crucial aspect of the admission process into Nigerian universities

The cancellation of the 817 candidates’ registration shows JAMB’s commitment to ensuring that the examination process is fair and transparent. Irregularities such as impersonation, examination malpractice, and other forms of misconduct can compromise the integrity of the examination and undermine its purpose.
In light of this, JAMB has implemented various measures to prevent such occurrences, including the use of biometric verification, the deployment of surveillance cameras, and the appointment of invigilators to monitor the examination centers. The board also encourages candidates to report any suspicious activity during the examination process to the appropriate authorities.
In conclusion, JAMB’s decision to cancel the registration of 817 candidates serves as a warning to other individuals who may be considering engaging in unethical behavior during the examination process. The board remains committed to maintaining the integrity of the UTME and ensuring that only qualified individuals are admitted into Nigerian universities.
