The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board says arrangements have been concluded to have an interaction with
owners of Computer Based Test centres in the country ahead of the 2017
UTME.
The board’s Head, Media and Information, Dr Fabian Benjamin, made the disclosure in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria on Monday in Lagos.
According to the statement, the meeting
which comes up on Tuesday at the University of Lagos is to fine tune all
areas of challenges geared towards conducting a hitch-free examination
in 2017.
It said that the meeting would determine
the number of centres to be used for the 2017 all CBT Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Board exercise.
These are centres that must have a minimum of 250 and above terminals (computers).
“We will not hesitate to disqualify any centre that falls short of the requirements,’’ the statement said.
“We will equally not compromise on the
selection of these centres as they will fully be responsible for our
registration and examinations and other related responsibilities that
they will be saddled with from time to time as we introduce new
measures.’’
The statement said that the board would
commence the sale of application forms soon and urged prospective
candidates not to patronise any self-acclaimed agent as the board had
not and would not appoint any.
It urged candidates to always visit the board’s website for information.
