The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has said candidates with biometric challenges should not take the issue with levity JAMB stated that candidates who experience issues with their fingerprints or facial recognition scans during their 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) registration should make sure they sort it out.

The 2025 UTME is slated to take place from Friday, April 25, 2025, to Monday, May 5, 2025.
In its latest weekly bulletin obtained by Ayoungis son Tuesday, February 18, 2025, JAMB, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, noted that no parent or proxy is allowed to make any transaction on candidates' profiles or interfere with the registration "to avoid alterations and data mismatch".To curtail registration infractions, the board reiterated the readiness of its surveillance mechanisms to track down uncooperative operators noting that a seamless registration exercise is a requirement for a successful examination.
Furthermore, JAMB warned computer-based test (CBT) centres to adhere strictly to the rules governing the registration exercise. The board warns that UTME registration is not a group or school-based affair as the practice is capable of generating such unsavoury situations as data mixing, mutilation, and mismatch. JAMB stated that it would suspend any centre that contravenes this stipulation, adding that some CBT centres engaging in sundry sharp practices that are currently under investigation could have their approval withdrawn.

At the ETC CBT centre, the minister interacted with several candidates, inquiring about their experiences with the registration process and their academic aspirations. He assured them of the federal government's commitment to making quality education more accessible and eliminating barriers that hinder students from pursuing higher learning.
Speaking further, Alausa reaffirmed the commitment of President Bola Tinubu to strengthening Nigeria's education system. He praised JAMB for 'its relentless efforts at fine-tuning the UTME process through the deployment of relevant and state-of-the-art technology'.
