The Board has introduced new anti-malpractice measures to uphold the integrity of the test, resulting in the recent arrest of several individuals attempting to use fraudulent A-level results.
JAMB has warned candidates against any form of cheating, stressing that strict monitoring mechanisms are in place to detect and penalize violations.
The Board also reminded candidates and stakeholders that UTME registration is independent of secondary school examinations like WAEC and NECO.
It urged everyone involved to follow proper registration guidelines to avoid complications.
