The Joint Admission and Matriculation Board(JAMB) on Friday, in Lagos, expressed satisfaction over the use of only accredited Computer-Based Test (a.k.a CBT centres) for the ongoing registration of candidates for the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examinations(UTME) across the country. It says the 100% computerized-registration process and being carried out solely at the various designated centres (where the exam will also take place) nationwide is yielding great results. The Chairman of Governing Board of the examination body, Dr Emmanuel Aguzie, made the remarks shortly after touring some CBT centres in Lagos on Friday for an on-the-spot assessment of the registration exercise, attributing the development to the ban placed on cybercafes from registering candidates for the entrance exam. While describing the registration exercise hitch-free, seamless and fraudulent-free as confirmed by both the CBT operators and candidates at the centres visited, the chairman said he does not foresee the registration deadline extended.
