2015 UTME Registrations to be Done by JAMB’s CBT Centres, no Cyber Café will be Allowed ....................................................................................................... 2015 UTME registrations will be done by JAMB’s CBT centres, Meaning no cyber café will be allowed to register any candidate. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will completely phase out Paper Pencil Test (PPT) and Dual Based Test (DBT) which it previously adopted as options for the Computer Based Test (CBT). Taking a critical look at the meeting held by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and CBT service providers ahead 2015 Computer Based Test (CBT), all registrations will be done by the Board’s CBT centres and no cyber café will be allowed to register any candidate. The Registrar/Chief Executive of JAMB, Prof. ‘DibuOjerinde, at the brainstorming meeting with the CBT service providers on regulated registration platform in Abuja, commended them for their services in nurturing the new examination regime and the various consolidation efforts as the Board fully enforces the deadline in 2015 UTME. The registrar further urged the service providers to upgrade their facilities to meet with the Board’s stipulated guideline on CBT centres even as he urged those that have met the regulation and standard to expand and keep regular checks at the existing system for maximum productivity. Ojerinde pointed out that the synergy with the service providers was in line with global best practices to enhance efficient and effective delivery. Presentations were made by Quality Assurance departments, Information and Technology Services departments and Finance and Accounts department on the regulated platform to keep every stakeholder abreast of their responsibilities. The reasons adduced for adopting CBT fully in the conduct of UTME is that it would completely curb examination malpractices as well as eliminate result blackout. Moreover cases of incomplete results will be eliminated and above all it would save the Board the rigors and challenges of logistics associated with the conduct of the examination simultaneously in all the states of the federation. Again JAMB believes CBT will provide candidates’ with immediate results as well as ensure precise ability estimation.
