JAMB has a list of things you can't bring to the exam room, and they also give instructions on biometric verification.

As we prepare for the 2024 JAMB CBT exams, candidates need to know what items they can't bring into the exam hall. The only things allowed for the 2024 UTME are an HB pencil and an extra copy of your JAMB exam slip. This rule is to make sure the Board's exams follow the best global standards. If candidates bring any of the items listed below, they won't be allowed to take the UTME.


Candidates must carefully check the list of prohibited items to avoid problems during the UTME.

Instructions for Biometric Verification:

  • Biometric Verification is the only way candidates can enter the exam center. Everyone must follow the guide for compulsory biometric verification.

  • Candidates who can't be verified shouldn't be kept waiting. They should be recaptured at the center before leaving. Genuine cases will be addressed later.

  • There's no other Attendance Register besides biometric verification. It will also be used as the Attendance Register during exams.

  • Photo Albums will only have pictures without marking points for Present or Absent status.

  • All Exam Officials, including security agents, must follow all guidelines and rules during the exam.
