No prejudice is shown toward PWDs, claims JAMB
According to JAMB, this would make it simple for candidates to find their testing locations in advance.
Moreover, candidates are advised to be at their testing locations one hour prior to the exam to complete biometric verification.
The board also reaffirmed its zero tolerance policy for exam fraud and stressed the importance of the exam’s scheduled start time.
“In the same vein, candidates are advised against going into the examination halls with prohibited items such as wristwatches, calculators, flash drives, 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.”
