The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Registrar, Professor Dibu Ojerinde has said that the proposed Computer Based Test (CBT) which will enable candidates write their examination on-line, will commence from 2013.
Professor Dibu Ojerinde
disclosed this in Kaduna yesterday when he led his management team and
staff of the board on an advocacy visit over the proposed Computer
Based Test (CBT) to Kaduna State.
According to the JAMB
registrar, who led the advocacy visit to Kaduna State Ministry of
Education, National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), Kaduna
Polytechnic and National Teachers Institute (NTI), the board will also
ensure uninterrupted power supply during the examination.
He said although UTME
candidates for 2013 will have options of Paper Pencil Test (PPT) and
Dual Based Test (computer and paper), the board will begin full blown
computer based testing by 2015.
“From now on, with
the use of Computer Based Testing (CBT), candidates will get their
result within 30 minutes after the examination. It will also address
cases of result black out and examination malpractice,” he said.
