JAMB Exam is Near: Printing of Exam Slip Has Commenced

The commencement of the JAMB UTME examination is a few days away and as expected the printing of the 2022 UTME examination slip has commenced.

Though there was a delay on the reported date for the examination slip to be available online. Instead of the 29th of April as promised by JAMB, the printing started on the 30th of April. Just 24 hours difference, no harm done.

It was reported that candidates' examination slips will be sent to the email address linked to their JAMB profile with an option to print the scheduling slip from their emails. Candidates have reported that no such message was received was from JAMB. So the available options to reprint it is from the JAMB portal or by visiting a CBT Centre.

Now all candidates who registered for the 2022 JAMB UTME examination can print out their examination slip which will show their examination schedule - the venue (CBT Center), date, time, and seat number for the UTME computer-based test (CBT) which will commence on May 6.

What's the difference between the JAMB registration slip and examination slip.

The JAMB registration slip is a confirmation of successful registration and contains candidates' personal details, UTME subjects, and choice of institution and programs. While the Examination slip is the examination schedule and contains the candidate's personal details, UTME Subjects are boldly shown and examination details which include:

• Registration Number

• Examination Number

• Center Number:

• Seat Number

• Examination Town

• Examination Centre Name

• Date: e.g. Monday, May 9, 2022, By 07:00 AM

The most important details for candidates to take note of immediately after printing the slip are the examination center name and the date of the examination.

After printing the slip and confirming the exam schedule details, what next?

Know your examination center location.

I have heard cases of candidates who arrived late at the examination center because they had a hard time locating the center on the examination day. Many end up not answering all questions or even missing out on the examination. It is advised for candidates to pay a prior visit to their scheduled centers before the date of the examination. this would make it easier for them to locate the venue on the date of the examination.

What Can I take to the examination hall?

DO NOT bring Wrist Watch, Mobile Phone, Electronic Device, Pen/Biro, Key Holder, Calculator, ATM Card, Eraser, Bangles, Ring, Necklace to the Examination Centre. You won't be allowed to enter the examination hall with them. The only items allowed into the exam hall are your examination slip and pencil.

No Verification, No Examination

Your Biometric (Thumbprints) Verification is COMPULSORY at the Examination Centre. Ensure that your biometric is successfully verified before entering the examination hall. No biometric verification, no examination.

There may be a need to sign out after you have ended the exam, so verify with the JAMB official in your center before leaving.

This is all for now. I wish y'all good luck in the examination. And remember, he who fails to prepare is prepared to fail.
