JAMB Approves 30 CBT Centres In Lagos For 2015 UTME
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) said it had approved 30 computer-based centres for the 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in Lagos State.
Lagos Coordinator of the Board, Dr Beatrice Okorie said that the development was a great improvement over the previous years when there were only five centres.
She disclosed this when asked about the board’s level of preparedness ahead of next year’s matriculation examination slated for March 4, 2015.
The board, had during the 2014 examination which comprised the Paper Pencil, Computer Based and the Dual Based modes, declared that it was migrating fully to an all computer based test, reports the News Agency of Nigeria. Now, the coordinator said that about 30 fully equipped centres had been approved for the conduct of the examination.
“Preparations are in top gear for next year’s matriculation examination. Everything is going as planned.
“We have been visiting various centres around the state to inspect what are on ground.
“So far, we are satisfied with about 30 centres that have been able to meet our requirements as they will ensure the smooth take off of the conduct of the examination.
“We will also like to say that more centres are still going to be approved and a case where there is an outright absence of the backups or the capacity for the existing ones are below expectation, we will advise for an immediate installation or a replacement.
Okorie said that there was no going back from the full migration to the Computer Based Test (CBT) mode.
