Why The JAMB Exam Slip Is Important

1. The main reason is to be able to know your exact date for the exam as well as the venue and the time. It is advisable that candidates know their exam venue on time in case it is somewhere they are not too familiar with, they will have time to ask questions about the venue or location or visit the venue before the exam instead of wasting time on the day of the exam looking around for the venue.

2. The exam slip will be required by the invigilators before you can be allowed into the exam hall. So apart from the purpose of knowing your date, time, and venue, you are required to go to the exam hall with at least a copy of the exam slip in order to be allowed into the hall.

3. JAMB will not allow candidates to go into the hall with any other paper except the JAMB exam slip. For candidates who may take subjects that require calculations, the only paper that will be available for you to use is may be your exam slip.

4. In case you lose your original registration slip, the printed exam slip will serve as proof that you registered for the exam. It contains almost every information that is on the registration slip.
