As the reprinting exercise for the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) continues, many candidates have printed their slips showing their exam date, time, and CBT centre address.
However, a common question some candidates are asking, like Tunde who wrote to us today, is:
“How will we know the exact exam hall after seeing the centre address?”
Here’s what every JAMB 2025 candidate needs to understand.
The Centre Address Only Guides You to the Location
The CBT centre address written on your JAMB exam slip is meant to guide you to the location of the centre.
It shows you:
- The name of the centre
- The full street address
- The town or city where the centre is located
However, the slip does not usually tell you the specific hall where you will sit inside the centre.
How You Will Know Your Exact Exam Hall
On your exam day, once you arrive at your CBT centre, the centre officials and invigilators will guide all candidates to their correct halls.
Here’s the usual process:
- Candidates are called in batches based on their exam time and registration number.
- Centre officials will check your printed slip at the entrance.
- They will then direct you to your assigned hall and computer system.
- Some centres even paste lists outside, showing candidates’ names and their assigned halls.
This arrangement is done on the exam day, and candidates are not expected to know their exact hall before arriving.
What Candidates Should Do
- Arrive at your centre at least two hours before your scheduled exam time.
- Carry a clear printout of your exam slip with you.
- Pay attention to announcements made by the centre officials.
- Follow instructions calmly and orderly.
- Do not panic — centre staff are trained to guide you to the correct hall.
Final Note
The most important thing now is to print your exam slip, study the centre address carefully, and make plans to arrive early.
Knowing your exact exam hall will happen naturally at the centre on the exam day with the help of officials.
Candidates are advised not to worry unnecessarily about this.
The 2025 UTME is scheduled to commence on Wednesday, 24th April 2025, and JAMB has promised smooth arrangements across all accredited centres nationwide.
Stay focused and keep following official updates.
