Candidates That Had System Failure And Those That Missed The Exam Will Retake It - JAMB

The Registrar Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB), Prof. Dibu Ojerinde has stated
that candidates who missed their examination
because they were relocated will be given
another opportunity to sit for the examination.
Also candidates who had system failure during
the examination would retake it, once it is
proven by the board that their complaints are
genuine.
On the issue of conflicting results, Prof. Dibu
said, "Let me use this opportunity to offer
explanation on the issue of the much-publicized
two results. The process of our marking involves
transformation and other qualitative
programming.
In the process of these configurations, we had a
little challenge which we quickly corrected and
ensured that this never happened in subsequent
results. This challenge was only associated with
the candidates that sat for this examination on
Saturday, 27, and some candidates of Monday,
29 February, 2016."
He also disclosed that out of the 1,546,633
candidates that sat for the 2016 UTME, 145, 704
had issues of multiple results which have been
resolved by the board.
He however stated that results of Uromi
approved UTME Centre in Edo State, were being
withheld as a result of massive malpractice and
invasion of the centre by armed hoodlums.
He blamed the technical hitches experienced in
some of the centres on the operators of the
centers as some of them hired equipment just to
pass the accreditation process only to be found
wanting on the examination day.
He further stated that reverting to Pencil-Paper
Test as directed by the House of
Representatives will invariably amount to taking
one step forward and two steps backwards.
"Even the physically challenged are taking the
CBT examination. One of the blind candidates
scored 286, so why should others complain? He
queried.
