A JAMB 2025 candidate, Bridget, has shared her heartbreaking experience after missing her UTME exam due to a mistake in locating her center.
“Please have mercy upon us. I mislocated my UTME center yesterday and was not able to sit for the exam,” she said.
Bridget’s story reflects the painful reality some candidates face — preparing for months, only to miss the exam because of confusion over the exam location.

What Happens When You Miss Your Exam Due to Centre Mislocation?
Sadly, JAMB’s rules are usually strict when it comes to missed exams.
Candidates are expected to arrive early and double-check their exam venues before the exam day. Missing the exam due to mislocation is not automatically accepted as a reason for rescheduling.
However, in special cases — especially if many candidates are affected at a particular center — JAMB may consider rescheduling after proper investigation.
Advice for Candidates in This Situation
- Visit the nearest JAMB office immediately to explain your situation and submit a formal complaint.
- Go with your exam slip and valid ID card as proof.
- Stay updated through JAMB’s official channels in case any special arrangements are made.
It’s painful to miss an exam after so much preparation, and Bridget’s plea is a reminder to all candidates to confirm their centers ahead of time, even if it means visiting before exam day.
