The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) would fully resort to computer-based test in 2015/2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
This was disclosed yesterday in Minna, Niger State, by the exam body’s registrar, Prof Dibu Ojerinde during the second technical committee meeting for 2014/2015 admissions to tertiary institutions in the country. He noted that last year’s UTME was partially pencil test, dual-based test and computer-based test.
He said the board decided to embark on full-blown computer-based test in 2015/2016 UTME as a result of the success recorded in it last year.
Prof Ojerinde urged the Niger State Government to build and operate computer centres in three Senatorial Districts for the candidates.
He said:“Our latest investigation shows that the Niger State College of Education, Minna, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai and the Niger State Polytechnic, Zungeru, are state institutions that can be equipped for this purpose”.
The State Governor, Babangida Aliyu, charged JAMB to sanitise the nation’s examination system for a better integrity of the certificates of the nation’s educational institutions.
