The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is set to introduce Facial Biometric Verification (FBV) in the conduct of the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The aim according to the examination body is to tackle impersonation, examination malpractice and restore greater integrity to the examination process.
The development was contained in the Board’s weekly bulletin released on Monday.
Under the new arrangement, JAMB said it would partner with the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) to verify candidates through live facial recognition before they are allowed to sit the UTME.
The Board said candidates seeking to take the examination would undergo live facial verification through an application, with the verification result forwarded to NIMC.
The identity management agency would subsequently return a code to JAMB to either affirm or reject the candidate’s identity claim.
