JAMB Cautions Candidates On Registration For 2016 utme

1>>The joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) on
Wednesday cautioned candidates against
patronising
unapproved centres while registering for the
2016 all
Computer Based Test (CBT) of the UTME. A
statement signed
by JAMB’s Head, Media and Information, Dr
Fabian
Benjamin, in Lagos, said that some
candidates were
patronising unapproved registration centres.
It said that the
candidates were being reminded that JAMB’s
registration for
the 2016 Unified Tertiary Matriculation
Examination (UTME)
should be done only at the board’s approved
centres. “The
board hereby wants to state unequivocally
that it will not be
liable in the event of any irregularity,
challenges or
inaccessible data arising from the wrong
registration. “JAMB,
once again, urges candidates that their
registration should
be done at its approved centres, to avoid
certain challenges
such as no results and incomplete results.
“The essence of
registration at the approved centres for the
candidates is to
ensure complete results without any hitches.
“Candidates
are also to note that the registration will be
ending in
January 2016,” it said. According to the
statement, JAMB has
put all machinery in place to ensure that next
year’s
examination records an improvement over the
2015
exercise. “We are working round the clock to
give the
country an examination that is malpractice
and stress-free;
and guarantees the spirit of equality and
fairness to all and
sundry. “Be informed that this year’s
registration has been
done in a way that candidates will have
additional provision
for more preferred choices, in case they do
not get
admission in their most preferred choice.
“Candidates are
allowed to choose from a list of institutions
with more
spaces. “This method is to give candidates a
second chance
of being admitted, should they miss their
most preferred
choice. “The board is only trying to ensure
that all available
spaces are being utilised,” the statement
said.
