Fear and confusion over computer based UTME exams

Towards the next Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination holding in April, stakeholders want the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to create more exam centres. But the board says ‘No’, CHARLES ABAH writes

Stakeholders have appealed to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board to revisit its examination plans for the forthcoming Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

They made the appeal on Monday, saying there was the need for the board to open more examination centres for candidates seeking to write its paper test.

While this year’s Paper Pencil Test and Dual-Based Test will hold on April 5, the agency has yet to fix a date for the Computer-Based Test.

A lawyer and an educationist, Mr. Yomi Giwa, who frowned on the dearth of PPT centres in the ongoing registration exercise, said JAMB, by the action, had disenfranchised many candidates seeking to write the paper-based test.
