The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) recently announced
that candidates will answer questions by e-testing in the 2013 Unified
Tertiary and Matriculation Examination (UTME).
According to
Professor Dibu Ojerinde, “e-testing would facilitate quick delivery of
results to candidates and reduce anxiety by candidates who had been
previously waiting longer for their results by manual testing.”
E-testing
will be optional for candidates. It is expected that initially, the
cost of JAMB forms might increase to reflect the cost of maintenance of
the computers used. However this cost is expected to go down following
full implementation of the solution.
It is expected that there will be at least one test center in all 36 states of the federation.
