No fewer than 1.7 million candidates are set to take part in the 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) nationwide scheduled to run from May 6 to May 16, 2022.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) stated that the examination would be conducted for 1,761,338 candidates that successfully registered for the examination in 755 registered computer based centres.
The Head (Media and Public Relations) of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, said in Abuja on Thursday that the Board had put in place all measures to ensure smooth conduct of the examination.
Benjamin said that all candidates would be checked into the examination hall, using the Biometric Verification Machine (BVM), which is also a register of attendance in line with the Board’s policy.

He added that the ban on prohibited items was still in force, calling on candidates to be careful not to run foul of the law as necessary sanctions would be meted out to violators of JAMB’s code of conduct.
The JAMB spokesperson stated that the banned items within the examination hall include flash drives, smart watches, calculators, recorders, mobile phones, spy reading glasses, jewellery, among others.
