Candidates should be aware that certain objects are prohibited from being brought into the exam hall as we prepare for the 2023 JAMB CBT mock and main exams. This, according to JAMB, is done to guarantee that the Board’s exams adhere to the finest practices around the world. Applicants would not be permitted to take the UTME if they brought any of these items into the testing center.
To prevent issues during the UTME exercise, candidates are now required to carefully review the list and take note of the prohibited items.

Download and activate the JAMB CBT Computer Software or the JAMB CBT Mobile App right now to gain access to 60,000 past JAMB exam questions with 100% offline access to the solutions, justifications, and online video tutorials.
