ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), says candidates with biometric challenges while registering the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), should proceed to its headquarters in Abuja.
JAMB also noted that candidates who encounter biometric challenges during their registration process would complete the process at its headquarters in Abuja where they would also write their examination.
The examination body gave the directive in the latest edition of its bulletin released yesterday in Abuja, The Nation reports.
The board insisted on its “no biometrics, no examination” stance for all candidates taking the 2023 UTME, adding that all the accredited CBT centres have been empowered for real-time online registration.
JAMB directed prospective candidates to register at only partnering centres or its offices across the country.
According to the board, any candidate who ignores this directive would not be able to complete their registration.
“No CBT centre is empowered to register candidates with biometric abnormalities. Such would only be registered and sit their exam at the JAMB national headquarters on the last day of the national exam calendar.
“No candidate would be allowed to enter the examination hall or sit for the examination if his or her biometrics cannot be verified as the system would not permit or process any examination without biometric verification,” it said.
Also, the exam body directed candidates to create their profiles on its portal to avoid any delay during their registration process.
It stressed that there will be no offline exemption or flight mode registration.
