…SAYS NO CANDIDATE WOULD BE DENIED OPPORTUNITY TO SIT EXAM ON ACCOUNT OF HITCHES

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board(JAMB) has said that it would be concluding the conduct of the 2023 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) on Saturday, 6th May, 2023.
Meanwhile, the Board assures the general public that no candidate would be denied the opportunity of taking the examination on account of technical hitches encountered in the course of taking the examination.
Dr. Benjamin, who briefed the media on Thursday, 27th April, 2023, after a a tour of some centres in Abuja in the company of some journalists, said this was possible as the Board was not unmindful of some teething challenges that could crop up during the exercise on account of some novel functionalities that were to be trialled, hence a series of mitigating mechanisms had been put in place.
He said a total of 1,595,779 candidates were scheduled to sit the examination in 708 centres in 105 examination towns across the country. He, however, reiterated the Board’s earlier position that it would not be in any hurry to release the results of the examination without subjecting the footage obtained at the various centres to a preview by a team of experts to check for examination malpractice adding that the result of any candidate found wanting would be withheld before release not after.
The Head, PAP, also reiterated the Board’s determination to provide credible and quality assessment through adherence to global best practices.
He stated that the challenges encountered in the course of the examination were borne out of the Board’s overarching desire to achieve a flawless testing outcome and to safeguard the sanctity of its examination.
