3. JAMB Warns Against Exam Malpractice and Fake SMS Alerts
JAMB has reiterated its earlier warning about fraudulent messages being sent to candidates, claiming that their data has been flagged for malpractice.
These messages are fake and should be ignored.
Candidates are advised to protect their details, avoid expo groups, and report any suspicious message to the appropriate authority.
4. Portal Downtime Being Resolved
Some candidates reported receiving timeout errors while trying to access JAMB services.
This was due to high server traffic, which is normal before major exams. JAMB’s technical team is actively working to ensure smooth access before exam day.
5. What to Do If Your Slip Shows the Wrong Year (e.g., 2023 or 2024)
A few candidates said their slip is still showing 2023 or 2024 at the top.
JAMB has clarified that this is nothing to worry about.
As long as the exam date, time, and centre on the slip are correct, the candidate can proceed to write the exam.
Final Reminder for Today
- Print your slip if you haven’t already.
- Prepare all necessary items tonight.
- Rest well.
- And make sure to leave early tomorrow, especially if you’re in the 6:30 AM or 7:00 AM session.
We’ll continue to monitor developments and provide real-time updates as the exam begins tomorrow.
Wishing all candidates success in the 2025 UTME!
