A candidate, Emmanuel, has shared his experience after facing biometric challenges during the JAMB 2025 UTME, a situation that many others have also encountered this year.
“I experienced biometric issues today 😟 but the officials gave me a rescheduling form. Now I’m waiting 😩,” he said.
Despite arriving prepared to write his exam, Emmanuel couldn’t be verified successfully through biometric thumbprinting, which is a strict requirement for all candidates.

What Happens When Biometric Issues Occur?
JAMB operates a “No Biometric, No Exam” policy to prevent impersonation and malpractice.
If a candidate’s fingerprint cannot be verified:
- They are not allowed to write the exam immediately.
- In genuine cases, the center officials issue a rescheduling form after confirming the problem.
This is exactly what happened with Emmanuel — instead of being sent home without hope, the officials gave him a form that confirms he will be rescheduled to write his exam on a new date.
What Emmanuel and Other Candidates Should Expect
- After receiving the rescheduling form, candidates are placed on a new exam date set by JAMB.
- JAMB will communicate the new exam date, time, and venue through official channels — candidates must stay alert.
- It’s important to keep the rescheduling form safe and follow up closely by checking updates from JAMB.
A Message of Encouragement
Facing biometric issues can be frustrating, especially after all the preparation, but Emmanuel’s story shows that there is still hope.
JAMB has made provisions to ensure that genuine candidates are not denied their right to write the exam because of technical issues.

Security personnel collecting #500 from candidates just because of bag, they brought and poor time management. Candidates have been at the center since 4:30am but exam only started some minutes after 7. And harsh prospect/invigilators
Please what happens to a child who was only re-capture but nothing like reschedule form was given according to him but JAMB official told his elder brother that he will be re-schedule for another date. Am hearing reschedule form while reading the above message for the first time.
