UTME: JAMB Appeals to Candidates to Stay Calm Over System Glitches
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has appealed to candidates who experienced glitches in the course of the examination to remain calm as they would be rescheduled.
Recall that the Examinations are scheduled to hold across the country today, Friday 19th April and tomorrow, Saturday 20th April 2024.
The JAMB Registrar, Prof Ishaq Oloyode, who made the appeal while fielding questions from newsmen after monitoring the exam in Kogo-Bwari, Abuja, said so far, the UTME had been going on smoothly as only one centre had been reported to have encountered issues.
In his words, “We appeal to the public to understand this. Some centers will fail. I have heard of only one Centre that has failed today.
“By the end of today, I expect about 10 per cent of the centers to have one problem or the other because we know the level of development in different parts of the country.
“We are not encouraging this, but when it happens, please do not disrupt others. It is important to note that when a session fails because of a problem, you cannot bring those candidates to do session two, they will have to step aside, and the headquarters will have to be contacted.
“The earliest time they can be scheduled will be after 4:30 p.m. so that those slated for sections two and three can write, and these candidates can now write for session four, and in some cases, they can even be scheduled for the following day.”
