The Public Communication Advisor of JAMB wishes to address a misleading publication regarding the UTME examination, which inaccurately claims that candidates cannot sit for the examination outside their state of registration. This information, widely disseminated by NAN, is incorrect.

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.
