Key Exam Rules & Remote Proctoring Guidelines

  1. Remotely Proctored Online Exam: The test is a competitive online examination monitored via live audio and video recording for verification and integrity checks.
  2. Appropriate Dress Code & Visibility: Dress decently so you can be clearly identified. Do not wear face masks, face caps (including fez caps), headphones, earbuds, earpieces, wristwatches, bracelets, or smart glasses. Both your face and ears must remain completely visible throughout the test.
  3. Laptop Requirement Only: You must use a laptop equipped with an in-built webcam and microphone. Mobile phones, tablets, external webcams, virtual cameras, and HDMI-connected displays are strictly prohibited.
  4. Operating System Requirement: The required Safe Examination Browser (SEB) supports only Windows 10 or later and macOS Ventura or later. Unsupported operating systems will not be able to launch the exam.
  5. Camera & Seating Rules: Keep your webcam unobstructed and remain seated within full camera view at all times.
  6. Quiet, Isolated & Well-Lit Room: No other person is allowed in your exam area. The room must be well-lit and completely quiet. You must not speak, read questions aloud, or communicate verbally during the test. Using a cybercafe or business centre is at your own risk.
  7. 30-Minute Exam Duration: The test lasts exactly thirty (30) minutes. Your timer starts immediately you click the "Start Examination" button and continues running even if you log out or lose connection. Once your time expires, the test submits automatically.
  8. Power & Internet Supply: You are solely responsible for providing a stable internet connection and uninterrupted electricity throughout your exam.
  9. Scheduled Login Only: Only log into the exam platform on your assigned date and scheduled time.

3-Step SEB Setup Process

  1. Step 1: After logging in, click "Take Exam" to open the instructions page, then download and install the exact version of the Safe Examination Browser (SEB) specified for your operating system (if you already installed the required version, you do not need to reinstall it).
  2. Step 2: Grant all permissions requested by the Safe Examination Browser so it can access your camera and microphone.
  3. Step 3: Return to the examination page and click "Click here to take your exam" to launch the test.

Mandatory Mock Examination

Participating in the Mock Examination is mandatory for all candidates and comes at no extra cost. You must take the mock using the exact same laptop, internet connection, and room you plan to use for the main Post-UTME test.
