JAMB:
Register Before January 30 Deadline.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB) on Thursday, 22nd January, 2015 advised candidates intending
to register for the 2015 Computer Based Test (CBT) to do so immediately. JAMB
said the advice became necessary because the website of the board would be on
January 30.
A statement signed by the Public Relations
Officer of JAMB, Mr. Fabian Benjamin, in Lagos noted that over 1.4 million
candidates had registered for the first ever all- computer mode of examination,
NAN reports.
The sale of forms for the
examination commenced since September, 2014, and will close on Friday, 30th
January, 2015 hence, all candidates desirous of sitting for the examination are
advised to immediately obtain the application documents at the designated
banks.
This is basically to ensure that
they get registered and avoid being left out. With respect to this, the board
has completed all processes and preparations, and has put in place all
logistics needed to conduct a hitch-free examination in the 400 centres that
would be used for the examination in Nigeria and abroad.
The 2015 UTME will only be on the
CBT mode hence, candidates are to disregard any contrary information as the examination
is scheduled to hold March 4, 2015. Candidates are advised to shun all acts
that are contrary to the conduct of the examination which has international
recognition.
It warned that the board would not hesitate to
impose severe sanction on any candidate found wanting. “For the avoidance of
doubt, the board wishes to state that any candidate who registered twice will
have his or her result cancelled.
JAMB has a mechanism that detects
double registration, irrespective of how it is disguised. “The board has also
made adequate arrangements to ensure that blind candidates sit for the 2015
UTME, using CBT.
