AMB has announced its application forms for the
2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination
(UTME), which is now available nationwide for
prospective candidates, reaffirming that the
examination will be on Computer-Based Test
(mode) only.
This was disclosed recently when Nigerian Pilot
called on the Spokesperson of the Board, Mr.
Fabian Benjamin.
He said the registration period will last between
Monday September 15, 2014 and Thursday January
15, 2015, while the website closes Monday January
19, 2015.
He also noted that in addition to the registration
fee, candidates will be expected to pay additional
N500 for a copy of a newly introduced textbook,
‘The Last Days at Forcados High School’, adding that
the Board has made arrangement to provide the
book to avoid the challenge of availability and
piracy and that the textbooks will be issued at the
point of registration.
According to the JAMB Spokesman, the Board has
also introduced a regulated registration format
where only our Computer-Based Test, CBT, centers
and state offices nationwide are authorised to
register candidates.
“The idea of a regulated registration centre is to
prevent situations where candidates are exploited
and to check impersonation, including other acts of
malpractices” , he said.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB), through its registrar recently stated that
candidates who were not computer literate would
not be allowed to write any examination
coordinated by the board from 2015. Although, the
board had embarked on the establishment of
computer test centres across the country to
prepare students for all its examinations, many are
still of the opinion that mandating candidates to
write a computer-based test (CBT) may not be
feasible.
