The JAMB exam for the year 2023 is fast approaching, and many students are getting ready for the exam. Are you getting prepared too? However, it is not news that some students fail the JAMB exam even before they write the exam. Some students fail not because they don’t read or prepare for the exam. But because of some mistakes and ignorance of some students.
In this article we would be looking at 19 Prohibited items in JAMB Exam hall 2023
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has released the list of items that will not be allowed into examination hall by candidates for this year’s Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
Registrar/Chief Executive of JAMB, Professor Is-haq Oloyede, said the prohibited items include mobile phones, pens/biros, ear pods/ear piece, smart button, wallet/purse, keyholders and calculators. This, according to the Board, is meant as a corrollary to its earlier directive that no candidate would be allowed to login or enter the examination hall one hour into the start time.
Every exam (especially the external exam) has its rules and regulations. A student who fails to comply is writing a letter to failure already.
JAMB has its rules and regulations, and any candidate who refuses to comply will face the consequences of disobedience.
That is why it is necessary to know some rules and regulations of the Joint Admission Matriculation Examination Board (JAMB).
