Jamb 2025: Is the shift in the thumb imprint on the day of the exam?

While candidates continue to prepare for the unified tertiary registration exam of 2025 (UTME), many questions arise on the documents required in the examination center.

An important question, like Tunde, is:
“Apart from the reprinted slip, should we also bring the footprint that we received during registration?”

Here is the clear answer based on the guest guidelines.

No, you don’t need to bring the fingerprint shift in the thumb

Candidates are not required To bring the confirmation slip of the thumb imprint to the examination room.

The fingerprint shift was given during recording to confirm that your biometric data (digital imprint and image) have been successfully captured in the jam system.

It’s for Recording registration objectives only And not necessary during the real examination.

What you need to bring on the day of the examination

The most important document that each candidate must bring to the examination center is:

• The examination slip of the reprinted amountwhich shows the information on your exam date, the time, the center and the headquarters.

The man managers will also use Live biometric verification (imprint again) on the day of the center exam.
You do not need to bring the old shift in thumb imprint for that; They will directly analyze your fingerprints.

Some centers may also request:

• A simple means of identification (such as the recording shout of the jamb or the school identity card) if necessary.

Important reminders for candidates

• Make sure your printed examination slip is clear and readable.
• Arrive at your center at least two hours before your exam time.
• Do not bring prohibited items such as bags, phones, calculators or books in the examination room.
• Cooperate fully with CBT Center managers for gentle biometric verification.

Final note

Only the reprinted shift in the assembly examination is necessary on the day of your exam.
The shift in the imprint of the thumb of the registration is not required and must be kept safely for the personal file only.

The UTME 2025 will officially start Wednesday April 24, 2025.
Applicants are encouraged to prepare well, reprint their leaves early and carefully follow all official instructions.

Stay focused and stay informed.
