This directive is only applicable to those candidates, who had indicated interest to take the mock examination”, the board said in a statement made available by the board’s Director of Media and Publicity, Dr. Fabian Benjamin.
The board explained that the notification slip contains candidate’s registration number, venue, date and time of the examination.
This, according to JAMB would enable candidates to easily locate their centres before the examination.
Candidates are also enjoined to be at their centres one hour before the examination for biometric verification.
The board also reiterated that the scheduled commencement time for the examination is sacrosanct while restating its zero tolerance for examination malpractice.
“In the same vein, candidates are advised against going into the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, and phones, among others. They are also warned to desist from the application of “laale” to do fancied drawings and paintings on their hands to avoid unnecessary interference with the whorls of their fingers which could impede biometric verification.”
