The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board in its Vol. 1, No 11 weekly Bulletin of the Office of the Registrar stated that there is no exemption on biometric verification for all candidates of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. According to the board, biometric verification will be the only mode of entry for candidates into its examination centres nationwide.

It was also noted that no candidate should be kept waiting if he or she cannot be verified but should be directed to contact JAMB.

The examination has been scheduled to commence April 11th across the country.

The board added that all examination officials, including security agents, are to ensure compliance with all guidelines, rules, and regulations on the examination as strict adherence to the guide on compulsory biometric verification of every candidate is required.

Here are the 6 important points released by JAMB on the Biometric Verification;

1. Biometric Verification will be the only mode for the admittance of candidates into the examination centre.
