JAMB to reschedule exams for candidates

The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, has said that candidates who experienced technical issues while sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination would be rescheduled to resit the examination.

He said the candidates to resit the exams include those who were logged out by the systems and could not answer the questions.

Oloyede, who blamed the hitches experienced in some centres on faulty cables, said that the resit examination would not clash with the National Examination Council examination scheduled to start on Monday.

The registrar said this on Thursday during a visit to the headquarters of Punch Nigeria Limited in Magboro, Ogun State, in company with top officials of JAMB, the PUNCH reports.

He said, “When they talk about network problem, what they mean is the cable. When they had a problem in Dutse, I sent somebody there and we spent only N8,000 on cables. It does not cost money. It is because they put it on the floor and people will step and damage them. And on the day of the examination, that what was accounted for the hitches and questions not being found.

“The challenge is not from JAMB. It is because the cable is failing between the candidate and our server in their offices. Our officers went to the centres with our servers. You don’t need connectivity all through the exam. With the technology we are using, you only need six minutes to download and upload the questions. Nobody should suffer it even if there was network failure.

“What I have seen today in Lagos is that we have a serious problem. I will still put it to the board but, next year, we may appoint one centre in each geopolitical zone to license the CBT centres and we will tell them to go and take over the centres for three months and give me the figure that is available. Take N200 out of their N500 but take over the centre for three months.’’

Oloyede, who noted that some candidates who registered late in Lagos and Ogun states were posted to other states as a result of limited spaces, denied that JAMB posted the candidates to where they did not choose.
