JAMB 2025: What to Know If Your Exam Time Is 6:30 AM

As candidates continue to print their JAMB 2025 examination slips, many are beginning to notice different exam times assigned to them.
One of the concerns raised today, like Ariel’s message, is about candidates scheduled to write their UTME as early as 6:30 AM.

This has raised some questions:
“Should candidates scheduled for 6:30 AM be worried?”

Here’s what you need to know.

6:30 AM Is a Normal Exam Time for Some Centres

Candidates who find 6:30 AM on their exam slip should not panic.
JAMB usually organizes the UTME in multiple sessions each day, and in some centres, especially busy ones, the first batch starts very early in the morning.

It is not an error.
It simply means you are among the first group of candidates writing that day at that particular centre.

In fact, starting early can be an advantage — the weather is cooler, centres are less crowded, and there is often less noise or delay.

Important Tips for 6:30 AM Candidates

If your exam time is 6:30 AM, here are important things you must do:

• Plan to arrive at your CBT centre at least two hours earlier, around 4:30 AM to 5:00 AM.
• Arrange your transport in advance.
• Sleep early the night before so you can wake up refreshed.
• Bring your printed exam slip and necessary items to the centre.
• Stay calm and composed — arriving early will reduce any tension you might feel.

Remember, arriving late can disqualify you from entering the exam hall.

Final Note

Candidates assigned 6:30 AM sessions for JAMB 2025 should not worry.
It is a normal time scheduled to manage the large number of candidates writing across the country.

Early preparation, proper planning, and staying calm are the keys to a smooth exam experience.

The 2025 UTME will officially begin on Wednesday, 24th April 2025, and all candidates are encouraged to stay alert and follow official updates.
