The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) has disclosed that about 1.4
million candidates will be sitting for the 2015
UTME Computer Based Test (CBT) which is
scheduled to begin March 4th.
This was made known by the JAMB Public
Relations Officer, Mr Fabian Benjamin.
According to him, JAMB the number of
candidates so far has been impressive.
``I want to say that we are expecting no
fewer than 1.4 million candidates that will be
attempting the examination in all computer-
based mode of examination, commencing
from this year.
``We are also happy to announce that we
also have enough centres that will match the
number of candidates that will be writing the
examination.
``We have gone round to all the centres to
assess the level of preparedness of the
centres we intend to use for the examination
and that they have all met the standard.
``I can assure that JAMB is fully ready for
take-off of the examination as all logistics to
ensure a successful outcome of the
examination are fully on ground.
``We urge candidates to be fully prepared,
avail themselves of the opportunity of
practicing with the computer on their own.
``There is nothing strange about writing the
examination through this mode and their
normal telephone usage,'' He stated.
He called on individuals and corporate bodies
to collaborate with JAMB to set up more CBT
Centres.
