JAMB SUSPENDS EXAM TOWN SELECTION FOR EKITI CANDIDATES
_____

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has temporarily halted the selection of examination towns for candidates registering for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Ekiti State.

This was disclosed by the board’s spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin. According to him, the decision was made to allow the board restructure the examination town arrangement so that centres will be closer to candidates and transportation stress on exam days can be reduced.

He noted that although candidates are normally allowed to choose towns nearest to them, the 2026 UTME registration began before certain structural irregularities were identified in the configuration of Ekiti examination towns. These issues required urgent correction in the best interest of candidates, leading to the temporary suspension.

As a result, candidates will not be able to select any examination town in Ekiti State while the adjustment is ongoing, though the process is expected to be completed soon.

The board apologised for any inconvenience this may cause candidates during the ongoing registration and assured the public that JAMB continuously reviews its operations and swiftly addresses challenges reported by candidates.

JAMB REGISTRATION MISTAKE THAT HAS RUINED MANY ADMISSIONS

Every year, many students lose their chances, because of a simple mistake made during registration. NAME MISMATCH.
Let me explain this clearly.
A student may have two names in real life. For example,
Surname, First name.
when you check his official records, you may find this:
• WAEC or NECO result carries only two names
• NIN carries the same two names
• But during JAMB registration, such student ignorantly adds a third name that is not on those documents
This is where the problem starts.
JAMB does not recognize “intended names.” They recognize only what is officially documented. Once the name on your JAMB record does not match your WAEC, NECO, or NIN, you have created a mismatch.

Here's what happens next?
• Your admission can be delayed by your institution or Jamb
• Your admission can be denied by Jamb
• You may be asked to do name correction, which costs money and time and even lost admission at the process
• In some cases, students miss admission completely
And the painful part is this. You may score high in JAMB and still lose admission because of a name error.
The rule is simple.
The name you use for JAMB must be exactly the same as the name on your NIN and O level result. Same spelling. Same order. Same number of names.
No additions. No assumptions. No “that is my real name.”
If you are yet to register for JAMB, pause and confirm your documents before filling the form.
If you have already registered, check your printout now and be sure everything matches.
This small detail can decide your future.
If this helped you, share it.
Someone you save today may be a future graduate tomorrow.
