As part of its preparations for the 2022 UTME, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has restated its ban on certain items which are barred from the venue of its examinations. These items, according to the Board, have been noted to have aided candidates in perpetrating examination malpractice.
Therefore, the ban on these items is to protect the sanctity of the Board’s examination, especially from the antics of some candidates and their collaborators. The Board also reiterates her avowed commitment to zero tolerance for examination malpractice adding that any candidate or official caught with any of these items would be duly sanctioned.
Some of the prohibited items are mobile phones, watches, pens/biro, spy reading glasses except medicated which must be verified, calculators or similar electronic devices, USB, CDs, hard disks and other similar storage devices, books, or any reading/writing materials, cameras, recorders, microphones, earpieces, ink/pen readers, smart lens, smart jewelry, smart buttons, BlueTooth devices, key holders, ATM cards, erasers, handkerchiefs, face towels and money.
