Yep, that'd be a safe practice (unless the lab specifies otherwise).
I generally recommend to my students to do it on all IBGP peerings unless
told otherwise so that with the pressure of the lab they aren't thinking
about whether or not it is necessary and trying to troubleshoot unreachable
next-hop issues. It can create sub-optimal routing within an AS though, if
the path to get to the IBGP advertising router is different from the path to
get to the EBGP advertising router (which is why it isn't done by default).

Thanks guys.
Would it be a safe practice to configure all the bgp neighbors in the exam
with next-hop-self, whether i/e-BGP or i/eMBGP
