The
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has set in motion sound
mechanism in preparation for the successful conduct of the 2016 Computer Based
Test Unified Tertiary Matriculations Examination (UTME) as staff of the Board
undergo various training at different levels to keep them abreast of the latest
development regarding conduct of 2016 UTME. Addressing the 2016 CBT technical
staff of Board, the Registrar and Chief Executive of the Board Prof. Dibu
Ojerinde emphasised the need for all staff to abide strictly by the laid down
rules and regulations stipulated to guide the conduct of the 2016 UTME.
The
Registrar said, “CBT is flexible but not lawless, therefore, all hands must be
on deck to ensure a successful conduct of the Computer Based Test (CBT) that is
credible and of standard international practices”.
Prof. Ojerinde insisted that the 2016 UTME
will no longer be business as usual, as candidates will no longer be allowed to
sit for the CBT examination thirty minutes (30 minutes) into the examination
time adding, candidates who missed the examination for whatsoever reason will
no longer be rescheduled. “We should strive to do things the way it is done so
that we will measure up with international standard”.
He
added. He also pointed out that candidates would no longer have the luxury of
changing their subject combination during examination as candidates had been
given ample time to do so at no cost before the website was closed for
registration.
The
Registrar enjoined staff to perform every duty assigned to them with utmost
integrity, as integrity is everything.
He advised staff to ensure that they are
security conscious during the examination, he stressed that “bunching” should
be avoided at all cost in all the centres to avoid security hazard. Candidates
should be made to form a single line as soon as they arrive at their respective
centres and ensure that they are made to stay in the holding room/hall before
they are arranged in their respective seats.
