It also asked candidates to create their profiles on its portal to avoid
any delay during their registration process.
In the latest edition
of its bulletin released on Monday, JAMB said candidates who encounter
biometric troubles during their registration process will complete it at its
headquarters in Abuja where they will also write their exam.
The
board reiterated its “no biometrics, no exam” mantra for all candidates taking
the 2023 UTME.

across the country.

The board said any candidate who ignores this directive would not be
able to complete their registration.
“No CBT centre is empowered to
register candidates with biometric abnormalities. Such would only be
registered and sit their exam at the JAMB national headquarters on the last
day of the national exam calendar,” it said.
“No candidate would
be allowed to enter the examination hall or sit the examination if his or her
biometrics cannot be verified as the system would not permit or process any
examination without biometric verification.”
