JAMB deploys decoy website to tackle examination malpractices

 

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has said the body has deployed a decoy website to apprehend candidates seeking to cheat in the 2025 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination Mock examination.

Oloyede disclosed this to reporters on Thursday while monitoring the exercise at a CBT centre in Bwari, Abuja, the nation’s capital.

 

He expressed concerns that some candidates patronise rogue websites to cheat in the exam, adding that JAMB has also opened a decoy website targeting such individuals.

Oloyede said, “We need to let the students know that the best way to pass the examination, UTME in particular, is to study. We are aware of some rogue websites asking people to come and pay so that they can help. It cannot work. We have also opened our own rogue website. As of this morning, about 180 students have paid.

“So those students, because to attempt to cheat is already an infraction. So those who paid into that account, looking for questions, we are going to deal firmly with them.

“In many of the institutions, UTME is not a school-based examination. We register students individually. That is why we tell the students not to give out their registration numbers. Do not register by proxy.

“Do not give your registration number to anybody. Because some of these schools want to be able to brag that, oh, my 10 students from my school scored 280. There was a state where even the governor of a state was misinformed, and they were celebrating nothing. So this type of thing that people want to cut corners, we are abreast of all this. And we are doing everything possible (to stop it).

“We have about 180 of them. And we are going to deal with them firmly. We are going to cancel their results, both UTME and DE.”

Oloyede also advised candidates to steer clear of fraudulent websites and individuals claiming to offer assistance during the examination.

“Some of them are paying N30,000 for something that will never work. And to some, when I look at those who have paid us this money, I smile,” he added.
