    The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has clarified that candidates are not restricted to taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) within their state of registration.

    The Public Communication Advisor of JAMB, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made the clarification in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday.

    “They have the flexibility to register anywhere in the country and select any town nationwide from any registration point.

    “Computer-Based Test Centres are clustered according to towns for convenience, allowing candidates to choose the town where they wish to take the examination,” he said.

    His clarification comes ahead of the April 25 commencement of the 2025 UTME across the country.

    Benjamin said, “For example, if a candidate selects Garki as their examination town, they must take the exam in a centre within the town and cannot be posted outside the town”.

    He said that those who had registered for the UTME and selected examination towns outside their state of registration “are indeed permitted to sit for the examination in their chosen towns”.

    “Candidates have the freedom to select their examination town from any location across the country, regardless of their state of registration.

    “For instance, a candidate can register in Lagos and opt to take the examination in Sokoto or any other location.

    “This flexibility is designed to accommodate candidates’ preferences and ensure they can choose a location that is convenient for them,” he said. NAN
