JAMB Runs or Expos: Everything Applicants Must Know Before It Ruins Their Admission
Every admission season comes with its own distractions. As soon as JAMB activities begin, one dangerous trend resurfaces—JAMB runs, expos, score upgrades, and so-called “special devices.”
Our attention has been drawn to the increasing number of individuals claiming they have technology, connections, or systems that can help candidates answer questions during the UTME. Unsurprisingly, many applicants keep asking:
Is there really something like JAMB runs or expos?
This article explains the truth every candidate must know before falling victim to scams that can permanently ruin their admission chances.
What Are JAMB Runs or Expos?
JAMB runs or expos are false promises made by fraudsters who claim they can:
- Provide UTME questions and answers before the exam
- Manipulate JAMB CBT systems
- Upgrade scores after the examination
- Install “special devices” that work inside the exam hall
These claims are designed to exploit fear, desperation, and misinformation—especially among candidates who feel unprepared.
The truth is simple and clear: there is no genuine JAMB run, expo, or score upgrade system.
Why JAMB Runs Do Not Exist
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) operates one of the most secure examination systems in Nigeria. Over the years, the board has invested heavily in technology to eliminate examination malpractice.
1. Computer-Based Testing (CBT)
Each candidate receives a unique set of questions randomly generated from a large database. Two candidates sitting next to each other will not have the same questions.
2. Biometric Verification
Candidates are verified using fingerprints and facial recognition, making impersonation almost impossible.
3. Encrypted Examination Systems
JAMB’s servers are encrypted and monitored in real time, making external interference extremely difficult.
According to official JAMB information, any claim of hacking or manipulating UTME scores is false.
The Truth About JAMB Score Upgrade
One of the most common scams today is the so-called JAMB score upgrade.
Fraudsters promise to raise scores from 140 to 250 or even 300 for a fee. After payment, candidates are usually blocked or given fake result screenshots.
JAMB scores are generated automatically and stored securely. No individual or cyber café has access to alter them.
Special Devices and Examination Fraud
Some scammers claim candidates can use “special devices” such as Bluetooth earpieces, smart pens, or wristbands inside CBT centres.
CBT centres are equipped with CCTV cameras, biometric screening, and strict invigilators. Any candidate caught with unauthorized devices faces:
- Immediate disqualification
- Cancellation of results
- Possible ban from future UTME exams
How JAMB Detects Malpractice
JAMB uses advanced systems such as:
- AI-based monitoring
- Post-exam data analysis
- Center performance audits
- Behavioral pattern detection
Suspicious results are often investigated, even after results are released.
Why Candidates Still Fall for JAMB Runs
Despite repeated warnings, many candidates still fall victim due to:
- Fear of failure
- Poor preparation
- Peer pressure
- Fake testimonials on social media
The Only Legitimate Way to Pass JAMB
The only proven way to succeed in UTME is through:
- Proper preparation
- Understanding the JAMB syllabus
- Practicing past questions
- Professional guidance
Candidates should always verify information from the official JAMB website.
