JAMB Scraps Mouse, Adopts “Eight-Key Device” System For 2017 CBT Exam by Dapromzy333(m): 10:44am On Mar 30, 2017
In order to deal with the challenge of computer low level literacy of some candidates, especially with the phobia for the mouse, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB has disclosed that it will adopt an “eight-key device” for the 2017 UTME.

Speaking during the Strategic Planning retreat on Supervision and Evaluation of 2017 UTME examinations the JAMB Registrar noted that in order to ensure equity and level playground for all candidates taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the Board has designed a system that will allow candidates use only eight (cool keys without the use of the mouse.

All the candidates need to do is to press the letters A,B,C,D for responses (answers) to questions and keys P, N, S and R representing different functions as follows:
P = Previous question
N = Next question
S = Submit responses when candidate has finished examination
R = Reverse (do not intend to go further to submit again)

According to him, this new method will eradicate the challenge of low computer literacy and phobia for mouse by some candidates.

On the new arrangements for the visually impaired candidates, the JAMB Registrar said Digital Bridge Institute in partnership with the board has agreed to set up three dedicated centres in Abuja, Lagos and Kano in 2018.

But for the 2017 UTME, board has reached an understanding with the association for the blind persons in Nigeria and blind students in Lagos that an abridged approach would be used for the 2017 UTME, whereby all prospective blind candidates would be invited to three centres in the country for special assessment in their subjects of choice and relevance to their desired courses and programmes.

i have to give it to JAMB, they are always upgrading every year. even though JAMB shouldn't even exist.
But WAEC has been around since before i was born and they still struggle to digitize common registration process.

Quite sad.

Some dum dums would still press the wrong key, just like the dum dum that thought this is a brilliant idea.
It's 2017, encourage computer education, and not a form of it.

Maybe they are afraid of lassa fever. Lol.
On a more serious note sha, many will fail the exams not because they don't know the answers, but because they don't know how to operate the computers.
