The Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB) has blacklisted 48 Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres
over their involvement in extortion and organised examination malpractices
during the 2017 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
JAMB’s Registrar, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, made the disclosure on Wednesday in Abuja at a news conference at the end of an enlarged meeting with external examiners and other stakeholders in the conduct of the 2017 UTME.
Oloyede, who also announced the
cancellation of the results of 59,698 candidates who sat for the examination,
said another 24 CBT centres had been suspended for one year for failing to live
up to expectations.
“The (24 CBT) centres will not
participate in the 2018 UTME, but they can be reconsidered for 2019 and above.
“The delisting of 48 centres from
participating in the board’s examination in future is as a result of serious
technical deficiencies, extortion, organised examination malpractices and other
damaging infractions.
” He said that JAMB had fixed July
1, 2017 as the date for supplementary examination for candidates who registered
late for this year’s UTME.
Oloyede added that some of the
candidates whose results were cancelled, would also take part in the
rescheduled exam.
The JAMB boss said the decision to
allow the candidates sit for the rescheduled examination was reached after a
thorough review of all the reports that emanated from their centres.
According to him, 1,386 candidates
have their results cancelled over examination malpractice; 57,646 results were
also affected as a result of centres-induced malpractices while the results of
666 candidates were cancelled due to multiple examinations.
He listed the categories of
candidates whose results were cancelled but would take part in the rescheduled
examination to include candidates of centres with mass malpractices but who are
deemed innocent, biometric non-verification machine related issues.
Others include technical and log out
issues, late registration, incomplete results and candidates who lost
examination sessions due to malfunctioning of servers at the affected centre.
