The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) says it will begin an option of “Bring Your Own Device” for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) from 2027.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this during the 2026 Policy Meeting on Admissions into Tertiary Institutions in Abuja on Monday, May 11.
Oloyede said candidates would be allowed to use their personal devices for the examination, but a flash drive would be inserted to prevent malpractice.

Oloyede explained that the option would be cheaper and easier to manage and would also address complaints from candidates who often report that their computer went off during the examination.
He said the measure was designed to make the process more convenient while maintaining the integrity of the test.
The JAMB boss, however, added that other innovations would also be introduced by 2027 for seamless examination.
