Why JAMB Made Fake Websites

JAMB says some people make real websites to trick students.

These people tell students they can help them pass the exam if they pay money.

This is not true.

To stop these bad people, JAMB set up their own fake websites.

Students who went to these fake websites to cheat were caught.

Students Will Get Punished

JAMB caught 180 students who gave money to these fake websites.

These students paid ₦30,000 or more.

They thought they would get real exam answers or higher scores.

JAMB says these students broke exam rules.

Now these students will be punished.

Their UTME or Direct Entry results may be cancelled.

They might also be taken to court.

JAMB Talks About Cheating

Prof Ishaq Oloyede, who is in charge of JAMB, talked to news people in Abuja.

He said JAMB will always fight against cheating.

He told students not to use any website promising quick exam success.

He says these websites will only trick students.

Mock Exam Helps JAMB Test New Ideas

JAMB did a mock exam this year.

Over 126,000 students joined this mock exam.

This mock test helped JAMB try out new ways to stop cheating.

It also helped students learn what the real exam will look like.

The real UTME exam will start on 25 April 2025.

Message for Schools and Students

Prof Oloyede said schools should not chase after high exam scores only.

He said students should just study well for the exam.

He said this is the best way to pass exams.

Be Careful Online

Always remember to only use JAMB’s real website.

Stay away from websites asking for money for exam help.

This is how to stay safe and pass the exam without trouble.
