The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said if a session experiences any technical challenge, the candidates in the session that experience the technical glitch will be rescheduled for the last session of the day or the next day.
This decision was reached as the Board met with all Computer-Based Test centre owners in a final briefing held virtually on Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

The Board added that candidates in subsequent sessions would be allowed to sit their examination as scheduled.
The examination body instructed candidates to remain calm in the event of any disruption, warning that any candidate and parent that disrupts any subsequent session as a result of the failure of his/her session would be disqualified outright from taking the examination.
However, the Board has directed all Computer-Based centre owners to arrest any parent who is found near any of the board’s facilities during the 2024 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The JAMB Registrar, Professor Ishaq Oloyede, added that not only would such parents who flout the order be arrested, but his ward would be disqualified from sitting for the exam.
The Board informed that security operatives would be on parade to work with the centres to apprehend any erring parent who is found near the centre.
JAMB said this directive became necessary following the intrusive disposition of some parents during past exercises.
It equally instructed candidates to jealously guard their e-mail addresses, phone, and registration numbers to avoid being enticed into patronizing any of the fraudulent websites.
The Board warned that if candidates’ details were found with any of the fraudulent sites, they would be treated as accomplices and prosecuted.
The Board expressed that state-of-the-art technologies had been deployed to nip all manners of infractions, collaborations, and other unsavory acts that run contrary to its code of operation in the bud.
