2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will hold in May 2017.
The JAMB have announced that the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) will hold in May 2017.
This was made known by the JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, through the Board’s Twitter handle @jambhq.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has issued a
fresh standardization rules to licensed operators of Computer Based Test
(CBT) centres ahead of the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME) examination.
In the new rule contained in a document obtained by The Nation on
Wednesday in Abuja, CBT Centre operators are required to upgrade their
facilities to accommodate minimum of 250 candidates.
This is against previous practice where CBT centres operated under
different capacities, with tendency for manual distribution of
candidates, prejudice and sharp practices by operators, local thugs and
disloyal interns.
According to the document, JAMB and proprietors of CBT centres agreed
on the issues of standardization of all CBT centres, in terms of
capacity, equipment, materials, competent human resources and security
appliances including Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) systems.
JAMB, in the document, warned that failure to comply with the new set
of rules would result in automatic disqualification of the operator and
outright withdrawal of its license.
In this regard, the board has begun an upgrade of all its 11 CBT
centres across Nigeria from their previous capacity to 250 as stipulated
by the new rules.
Also, the four new CBT centers built by the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) have been upgraded to minimum standard.
This was made known by the JAMB spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, through the Board’s Twitter handle @jambhq.
