The Board also said all candidates sitting for the 2024 Mock-UTME would be allowed to enter the examination hall with an ordinary HP pencil for numerical analysis if they so desired.
JAMB spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, in a statement on Wednesday said the clarification became necessary following series of enquiries from candidates and the public regarding whether HP pencils were permitted in the examination hall as a writing material.
He said: “It should be noted that the Board had hitherto prohibited the use of pencils and other banned materials in view of the nefarious ends that these materials are put.”
