The need for NIN is getting serious for various activities regarding admissions, most especially through JAMB.
We’ve witnessed the need for NIN during the JAMB registration for both UTME and DE applicants.
We’ve also seen that being asked for in job applications, such as Nigeria Army Recruitment, Nigerian Air Force jobs, etc.
Now, while going for UTME, candidates are curious to know if NIN will be taken through a process of verification before being allowed into the halls.
Among these activities are the fingerprint and biometric checking and confirmation of the exam slips.
But will they need your NIN or National ID card as part of the CBT verification before writing UTME?
FAQs
1. Do I need my NIN to take the CBT at Jam Venue?
Yes, you need a valid National Identification Number (NIN) to sit for the CBT at Jam Venue. The NIN is required for identity verification and to ensure your exam registration matches official records.
2. Can I sit for the CBT without providing my NIN?
No, you cannot. Without a NIN, your eligibility cannot be confirmed, and you may be denied access to the examination hall. It is mandatory to link your NIN to your exam registration.
3. What should I do if I don’t have a NIN yet?
If you don’t have a NIN, you must apply for one at the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) before the exam date. Make sure to complete the registration process and obtain your NIN slip, as Jam Venue will require it on the exam day.
4. Can I use someone else’s NIN to take the CBT?
No, using another person’s NIN is strictly prohibited and considered exam malpractice. Only your personal NIN linked to your identity and exam registration is accepted.
