JAMB Issues Strict Warning Against Double Registration for 2025 UTME, Threatens Disqualification and Legal Action

In a recent bulletin publication, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a stern warning to candidates and the public registering for the 2025 Unified Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME) against engaging in multiple registrations. Ville Pius, the Director of the Test Administration Department at JAMB, emphasized that offenders will face severe consequences, including disqualification and legal action.

Pius underscored the gravity of multiple registrations, stating that candidates found guilty may not only be barred from writing the 2025 UTME but could also be taken to court. The director emphasized, “Multiple registrations are not allowed in the 2025 UTME exercise; candidates who register more than once would be identified, disqualified, and prosecuted.”

Addressing candidates who might have registered twice due to errors, Pius urged them to seek correction at JAMB instead of obtaining a fresh application form. The statement clarified, “In the event of any error during the registration process, candidates are to approach the board for necessary corrections rather than obtaining fresh application documents as they would be deemed to have engaged in multiple registrations, which could invalidate their applications.”

To prevent registration errors, candidates were advised to thoroughly read and understand the registration guidelines and instructions provided by JAMB in their advertisements. Pius also emphasized the importance of safeguarding personal details, such as registration numbers, passwords, e-mail addresses, and e-PIN, cautioning candidates against sharing this information with anyone, including JAMB CBT registration centers.

Additionally, the director reminded candidates that, upon completing the registration, they would be required to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) indicating their compliance with ethical standards guiding their applications.
