To curb biometric impersonation, data manipulation, and illegal cybercafe registration during the 2021 UTME and Direct Entry (DE) exercise, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has introduced a new security feature called "Know Your Registration Officer."
How the 'Know Your Registration Officer' Feature Protects Candidates
- In a statement issued on Thursday, 22nd April 2021, by JAMB's Head of Media and Protocol, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, the Board explained that the live passport photograph of the accredited Registration Officer is now permanently displayed at the corner of the computer screen being used to register the candidate.
- What Candidates Must Check: While being registered at a CBT centre, look at the corner of the computer monitor and confirm that the face displayed on the screen matches the physical person registering you.
- Raise the Alarm If Faces Don't Match: If the photo on the screen does not match the person operating the computer, raise the alarm immediately, as it means either an unaccredited person is using someone else's login credentials or you are in an unauthorized registration outlet.
After completing your registration at an accredited centre, prepare for your exam using the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
