JAMB SANCTIONS 11 CBT CENTRES FOR FINGERPRINT INFRINGEMENTS.

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has sanctioned 11 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres for fingerprint infringements during the 2025 UTME registration exercise, noting that over 2,160 candidates were involved in biometric irregularities across these centres.

JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed in Abuja after a meeting with the affected centres and other critical stakeholders, that the affected centres and their Registration Officials will face penalties, including a three-year ban from JAMB activities, adding that officials who registered over 50 candidates with irregularities will also be barred from WAEC, NECO, and NABTEB activities for the same period, while the centres are required to undergo compulsory ethical training for their staff.

The Registrar reiterated the Board's commitment to upholding the integrity of its examination processes, stating that the affected centres must submit a letter confirming staff training on ethical standards before resuming activities with JAMB.
