The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board has come to issue a warning to candidate concerning the unified tertiary matriculation exam.

Jamb called on prospective candidate to disregard advertisement on social media concerning the sales of registration form with illegal centres and wrong subject combinations.

This was made known by the board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.

He said:

“It has come to the notice of the board that some fraudsters have listed out centres for the examination and in the process, inserted some illegal ones.

“Let me state here that all the processes concerning the board can only be done by approved Computer Based Centres (CBT).”


According to Benjamin,  he said,  only 700 centres have been approved so far for the conduct of 2019 UTME scheduled to commence on March 16.

He said jamb would soon published the list of all the approved centres national wide so as to guide prospective candidates in choosing centres nearest to them.

The sales of the registration documents for the examination will commence on January 10, Benjamin said.

Already the list of over 700 accredited centres for this examination has been uploaded on our website.
“But we have not published any advert concerning all the processes, we are hoping to do so soon.

“Precisely before the commencement of the sales of the forms just as we will paste the list of all the accredited CBT centres at all our state offices nationwide.

“This is to guide the candidates towards the examination processes in order not to fall prey to these fraudsters who are bent on finding ways of causing pains to innocent Nigerians,” Benjamin said.

He added that candidates can also go to the “playstore app” on their mobile phones and download “jambibass” to get authentic information especially as regards subject and course combinations among others.
