The JAMB Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, disclosed this at a meeting in Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), with operators of Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres. He explained that the board discovered that some electronic devices like pen, wristwatches and phones were used to perpetrate examination malpractice during the 2017 UTME.
Oloyede stressed that due to the board’s zero tolerance for irregularities and corrupt practices, it would also install electronic jammers in all CBT centres to frustrate those planning to cheat. “We have introduced new measures that would further add to the integrity of the registration process and conduct of the UTME.”
“Before that, we expect students to download the applications from JAMB’s website, which include the syllabus and the brochure to enable them study the registration procedure to minimise errors,” he said.
Oloyode explained that while 72 CBT centres had been disaccredited over various offences, the board has so far, registered 617 operators in addition to existing ones.
