The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, on Monday as a way of curbing exam malpractice insisted that all candidates must be biometrically verified before taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME.
This is as the examination body announced the scrapping of the mop-up examination it introduced in 2017 for candidates who register for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, but could not get their biometrics verified.
It was reported that the board in its Weekly Bulletin from the office of the Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, explained that the latest development emanated from the management’s rigorous review of the 2022 UTME exercise with the need to close all loopholes noticed during the examination.
It said it has come to the end of an era whereby some candidates will present themselves at the examination venue and claim difficulty to be biometrically verified and expect the system to allow them to sit for the examination is gone for good
