2015 JAMB To Last For Two Weeks

Unlike previous Joint
Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examinations, which took place in a day, this year’s christened Computer-Based Test (CBT), will last for about two weeks.
The Zonal Coordinator, JAMB, Rivers State, Mrs Beatrice Etta-Nyiam, gave this hint in an exclusive interview with The Tide in her office, recently.
According to her, this is due to the fact that all the candidates registered in Rivers State, for instance, will write the Computer-Based Test examination in the approved eight centres.
She explained that there are more candidates than there are examination centres, hence “the best thing to do will be to group the number of candidates into days within the two weeks that the CBT examination is expected to take place.”
The eight approved centres for the CBT examination according to her, are Rivers State University of Science and Technology, (RSUST), University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), Rivers State Polytechnic (Rivpoly), Federal College of Education, Technical, Omoku, Ignatus Ajuru University of Education (IAUOC), Rivers State College of Arts and Science and two others.
The test, which was tentatively to commence on March 4, 2015, is likely to be postponed due to logistics and security reasons.
