The
Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) says more than 10,000 candidates
caught for examination malpractices in the ongoing UTME in Anambra have been
handed over to appropriate authority.
Lynda Nwachukwu, the Coordinator of the board
in Anambra, disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on
Saturday.
NAN reports that the all computer-based testing
(CBT) mode 2017 UTME, which started on May 13 in 642 centres nationwide, ended
on May 20.
Ms. Nwachukwu said the examination, which took
place in 28 centres in the state, was successful.
“There was no disruption of the exercise in any
of the examination centres,’’ she said.
The coordinator said the candidates adhered
strictly to the requirements of the examination, adding that JAMB provided all
the materials required for the examination.
NAN correspondent, who monitored the last batch
of the examination, reports that some parents complained of system failure in
some CBT centres in the state.
Eucharia Okonkwo, a parent, said her daughter,
who wrote the examination at the St Mary’s High School Ifite-Dunu centre, could
not complete the examination due to the faulty computer and network failure at
the centre.
According
to her daughter, many candidates could not complete the questions in record
time because of the faulty system.
Ms. Okonkwo advised JAMB to plan well for
examination in subsequent years to avoid the technical hitches that could give
the candidates psychological trauma.
