2025 UTME Registration: Important Notice on Henna Use

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM JAMB FOR UTME CANDIDATES.

To ensure a smooth registration process for prospective candidates, it is crucial to adhere to the strict warning regarding the use of henna, also known as “Laali” or “Lale.” The application of henna on the fingers can lead to significant challenges during biometric verification, as it has been shown to obstruct the process of biometric verification.

Additionally, candidates who attempt to remove henna designs using harsh chemicals may inadvertently damage the whorls on their fingers, making biometric verification and authentication extremely difficult, if not impossible.

Candidates are advised to protect their ten fingers for both the registration and the examination itself, as successful biometric verification is mandatory for entry into the examination hall. Without it, candidates will be unable to access even the exam questions.

This message serves as a reminder for anyone considering the application of henna to refrain from doing so to ensure a seamless registration experience.
