PUNCH, MONDAY, APRIL 15, 2024: 19 MAPOLY Students Suspended for Examination Malpractices: - No fewer than 19
students of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Ojere, Abeokuta, Ogun State, have been suspended for examination
malpractices while two other students were given warning letters to desist from such illegality.
Four of the suspended students will be on suspension for two semesters, while the remaining 15 were suspended for
four semesters.
This was according to a statement by the Public Relations Officer of the institution, Mr Yemi Ajibola.
Mr. Ajibola had attributed the disciplinary measures to the decision of the Examination Misconduct Panel. He said,
that the report showed a drastic reduction in the number of students' involvement in examination malpractices
when compared with the previous reports on the same issue.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reaffirmed its stance against
examination malpractice by restating the ban on certain items during the 2024 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME). These items as identified by the Board, are prohibited from
examination venues due to their potential to aid in malpractice. Some of these prohibited items are
but not limited to:
OTHER SIMILAR
DEVICES
The prohibition of these items is aimed at safeguarding the integrity of the UTME and preventing
examination malpractice.
Over the years, these items have been noted to facilitate cheating among candidates and their
collaborators. By banning them, JAMB intends to uphold the sanctity of its examinations and ensure
fairness for all candidates.
The Board has reiterated its commitment to zero tolerance for examination malpractice. Any
candidate or official found in possession of any of these prohibited items will face appropriate
sanctions, which may include disqualification from the examination or legal action. These measures
are intended to serve as a deterrent to potential offenders and maintain the credibility of the UTME
results.
The restatement of the ban on prohibited items for the 2024 UTME underscores JAMB's
determination to combat examination malpractice and uphold the integrity of its examinations. It is
imperative for candidates and officials to adhere strictly to these regulations to ensure a fair and
transparent examination process. JAMB's continued vigilance in enforcing these measures is crucial
for maintaining the credibility and reliability of the UTME results.

1.0 PREAMBLE
The Board has been receiving series of complaints from institutions on candidates with forged or
fake A-level certificates. Each institution has the policy of verifying the credentials of admitted
candidates to ascertain their authenticity. One of such exercises was carried out by Bayero
University, Kano, where the results of 148 admitted students were verified and 142 of them were
found to be forged or faked. The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences
Commission (ICPC) in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Education and JAMB
subsequently carried out a sting operation at the A-level examination venues across the country.
The result of which was extremely embarrassing to the Education sector. The then Chairman of
ICPC said that much.
As a result of this, the Board had to, with the approval of the Federal Ministry of Education, act
appropriately and establish the Nigeria Integrated Post-Secondary Education Data System
(NIPEDS) which has the mandate to verify all A-level certificates used in the DE application
before admission is considered.

For 2023 registration, of the 44,866 candidates who applied for the DE (or converted from
UTME) 1,957 have so far been disclaimed by institutions/examination bodies.
The verification exercise by the Nigeria Post-Secondary Education Data System (NIPEDS) also
revealed some discrepancies which could unduly disadvantage students/candidates or provide
avenue for their impersonation. The discrepancies are:

Consequently, the Board introduced new measures, through the THIRD-PARTY A-LEVEL
DATA ALIGNMENT PLATFORM (TALDAP), to align the data supplied by the candidate
with the data supplied by the examination bodies before DE registration.
Be guided, please.

ADVERTORIALS
Institutions that desire to place advertisement can do so with the
requirement that candidates who sat for the current UTME (or DE
candidates) should change to their institutions as First (1st) Choice
rather than requesting the candidates to purchase another application
form or apply. This is to prevent the issue of double registration which is
a violation of the mandate of JAMB.
It should be reiterated that no Institution should advertise or sell
“application forms” for admissions into the programmes listed above.
Institutions should advise candidates to apply to them through Joint
Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB). Duplication of application
forms is NOT allowed.
