Common Mistakes to Avoid During JAMB Reprinting

Many candidates lose valuable time during the reprinting period because of small but avoidable errors. Being aware of these mistakes can save you from unnecessary stress before your UTME.

One common mistake is waiting until the night before the exam to print the slip. The portal usually experiences heavy traffic during peak hours, and last-minute printing can lead to panic if the system becomes slow or temporarily unavailable.

Another issue is entering incorrect login details. Ensure the email address, registration number, or profile code you provide matches exactly what you used during registration. Even a small typo can prevent access to your dashboard.

Some candidates also fail to carefully check the details on their printed slip. Always review your exam date, reporting time, and CBT centre location immediately after printing. If anything looks unusual, act quickly and seek clarification from an accredited centre.

Relying on unverified third-party websites is another risky mistake. Always use the official portal of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to avoid misinformation or extra charges.

Finally, do not ignore exam instructions printed on your slip. These instructions may include reporting time, items allowed into the exam hall, and conduct guidelines.
