JAMB Candidates Face Expulsion From CBT
There are indications that
some of the candidates who registered for this year’s Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) Computer-Based Test (CBT) may not be allowed to write the examination.
This is sequel to the revelation that some cyber cafes are fraudulently involved in the registration of candidates for the CBT.
The Tide’s investigation revealed that there are five originally approved CBT registration centres and an additional three in Rivers State.
However, some cyber café’s who allegedly claim to be affiliated to these approved centres, also register candidates for the 2015 CBT.
In an exclusive interview with the Zonal Coordinator, JAMB, Rivers State, Mrs Beatrice Etta-Nyiam, she named the approved centres to include Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Rivers State Polytechnic (Rivpoly) and Federal College of Education (Technical), Omoku.
She explained that these five Computer-Based Test Centres were the genuinely approved ones before JAMB added three additional ones.
The Tide gathered that there had been discrepancies in the print-outs from the registration in some of these cyber cafes and those of the approved centres.
“If candidates registered for the CBT at a wrong place or an unapproved centre, there is nothing we (JAMB) can do about it,” Mrs Etta-Nyiam said.
The implication of this is that such candidates may not be allowed to write the examination which is tentatively fixed to hold from the 4th of March 2015.
