Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB, has warned Computer-Based Test Centres to adhere strictly to the rules governing the registration exercise.
The Board warns that UTME registration is not a group or school-based affair as the practice is capable of generating such unsavoury situations as data mixing, mutilation and mismatch stating that it would not hesitate to suspend any centre that contravenes this stipulation adding that some centres engaging in sundry sharp practices are under investigation and if found culpable, their approval would be withdrawn.
The Board stressed that only candidates, whose biometrics verification is successful on the examination day, would be permitted to sit the Mock-UTME or UTME.
Also, the Board stressed that no parent or proxy is allowed to make any transaction on candidates’profiles or interfere with the registration to avoid alterations and data mismatch.
To curtail registration infractions, the Board reiterated the readiness of its surveillance mechanisms to track down recalcitrant operators noting that a seamless registration exercise is a sine qua non for a successful examination.
