Candidates Can Take UTME Anywhere, JAMB Clarifies

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified that candidates who registered for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) are not restricted to taking the examination in their state of registration.

A statement by JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin on Wednesday, stated that contrary to a recent report, candidates have the flexibility to register anywhere in the country and choose any town nationwide as their examination location.

The board emphasised that candidates must take the exam in their selected town, and those who have registered and selected examination towns outside their state of registration are permitted to sit for the examination in their chosen towns.

JAMB urged the public to disregard the erroneous report and advised candidates to follow official guidelines.

Part of the statement said, “In a recent interview with a NAN reporter, I clarified that candidates are not restricted to taking the examination within their state of registration. They have the flexibility to register anywhere in the country and select any town nationwide from any registration point. Computer-Based Test Centres are clustered according to towns for convenience, allowing candidates to choose the town where they wish to take the examination.

“ For example, if a candidate selects Garki as their examination town, they must take the exam in a centre within the town and cannot be posted outside the town as been alleged at times.

“It is crucial to rectify this misunderstanding to prevent confusion among candidates. Those who have registered for the UTME and selected examination towns outside their state of registration are indeed permitted to sit for the examination in their chosen towns.

“Candidates have the freedom to select their examination town from any location across the country, regardless of their state of registration. For instance, a candidate can register in Lagos and opt to take the examination in Sokoto or any other location.

“This flexibility is designed to accommodate candidates’ preferences and ensure they can choose a location that is convenient for them.

“We urge the public to disregard the erroneous report from NAN in its entirety.”
