The JAMB Registrar Professor Dibu Ojerinde in a statement has said that the CBT mode of examination remains the best for the following reasons:
-It provides better platform for the candidates to articulate their educational pursuit,
-It eliminates result black-out or incomplete results,
-Eliminates examination malpractice,
-Enhances prompt release of scores two hours after the examination, among other benefits too numerous to mention,” the statement said.
According to him the CBT test will hold in over 163 centres in Nigeria and abroad, saying the May 17 to 31 dates remain unchanged and advised candidates to reprint their e-slips to confirm their exam dates.
He also said that about 616,000 candidates are expected to sit for the examination with over 250 prisoners in Kaduna and Ikoyi prisons.
He further added that the move to have CBT as the only mode of UTME next year stands non-negotiable and called on Nigerians to embrace it as a revolution in the examination industry.
