JAMB 2025: “My Exam Centre Was Changed Without Notice” — Candidate Cries Out Over Location Mix-Up

For Micaiah Jock, the plan was clear: arrive early, stay focused, and write his JAMB 2025 exam at the same center where he registered. But what was supposed to be a smooth experience turned into a confusing and painful situation.

On reaching his exam venue, Micaiah was shocked to discover that the location had been changed — and no one informed him.

“Where I registered was the same place as my exam centre, but on getting there, I found out the location had changed. I have documents to prove it,” he said.

Despite having all his documents and arriving at the right time, the sudden change in venue left him stranded, with no chance to take the exam he had prepared so hard for.

“Nobody Told Me — I Was Left Behind”

This kind of mix-up can be devastating for a student who has put in months of effort, only to be denied the chance to even enter the hall — not because of lateness, not because of malpractice, but due to a system error or miscommunication.

Micaiah is now appealing to JAMB officials to look into cases like his. He’s not just frustrated — he’s hurt, and he wants his voice heard.

What Should You Do If Your Exam Centre Was Changed Without Notice?

If you or someone you know is facing a similar issue, here’s what you can do:

• Keep all your documents — your registration slip, printouts, and any proof of the original center.
• Visit the nearest JAMB office immediately and file a formal complaint.
• Ask for an incident report from the centre you visited.
• Follow JAMB’s official updates to know if rescheduling will be done for affected candidates.

A Message to JAMB

Mistakes like this can ruin a candidate’s entire academic year. We hope JAMB will review Micaiah’s case — and others like it — and give them another chance to write their exam.
