“The release of this information is in line with the board’s firm determination to ensure that candidates who are desirous of enrolling are ready and prepared.
“Similarly, it is expected to serve as a wake-up call to all who may want to register, to first obtain their NIN, a major prerequisite for the UTME registration.
“For those who may want to obtain any of the two application documents, they are advised to get their NIN and also familiarise themselves with the board’s Integrated Brochure and Syllabus System (IBASS).

JAMB added that it had put adequate measures in place to checkmate those who might want to cheat.
It said that it had also strengthened all administrative procedures for the smooth prosecution of any candidate, center, or staff of JAMB found to have been involved in an infraction.
