The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) issues an advisory warning UTME and Direct Entry candidates to ensure their personal details are correct when creating their registration profiles. The board says small mistakes can create problems later in the admissions process.
JAMB’s guidance focuses on preventing errors related to candidates’ names and dates of birth during profile creation. The advisory is presented as part of JAMB’s “JAMB Explained” series, and outlets echo JAMB’s call for candidates to carefully review the information they enter before submitting their profiles.
While both reports emphasize the same theme—avoiding profile-creation mistakes—the coverage reflects different levels of detail. One outlet highlights common errors that candidates should avoid, while the other frames the warning as a formal caution from JAMB to double-check personal records prior to completing registration.
