The Joint Admissions Matriculation Board (JAMB) says more than 10,000 candidates caught for examination malpractices in the on-going UTME in Anambra have been handed over to the appropriate authority.

Mrs Lynda Nwachukwu, the Coordinator of the board in Anambra disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Saturday.

NAN reports that the all computer-based testing (CBT) mode 2017 UTME, which started on May 13 in 642 centres nationwide, ended on May 20.

Nwachukwu said that the examination, which took place in 28 centres in the state, was successful.

“There was no disruption of the exercise in any of the examination centres,’’ she said.

The coordinator said that the candidates adhered strictly to the requirements of the examination, adding that JAMB provided all the materials required for the examination.

NAN correspondent, who monitored the last batch of the examination, reports that some parents complained of system failure in some CBT centres in the state.

Mrs Eucharia Okonkwo, a parent, said her daughter, who wrote the examination at the St Mary’s High School Ifite-Dunu centre, could not complete the examination due to the faulty computer and network failure at the centre.

According to her daughter, many candidates could not complete the questions in record time because of the faulty system.

Okonkwo advised JAMB to plan well for examination in subsequent years to avoid the technical hitches that could give the candidates psychological trauma.

Dr. Mose Mojekeh, Head, Department of Marketing at the Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, told NAN on a telephone, that such system failure in UTME was not acceptable.

According to him, the hiccups could potentially deny young people from Anambra State, university admission.

Mojekeh advised JAMB to urgently collate the number of candidates affected and set another examination for them.

He also decried the practice whereby JAMB sends officials from one state to supervise examinations in another state.

“Experience has shown that such officials do not care much about the candidates when problems arise, as they leave them to their fate,’’ the lecturer said.

He called on the management of schools, whose candidates experienced the computer failure, to take their complaints to the State Ministry of Education to present their cases.

NAN reports that the JAMB concluded its CBT on May 20. (NAN)

This is one of the reason why their academic performance at secondary school level does not replicate such dominance at degree level as we know higher institutions from a region that tops the chat.

Nice whistle-blowing job JAMB!


When those 10,000 candidates were caught by JAMB, they must be saying they are on the mission to develop the world as they don't want Jamb to be left out of their plans.

They've began developing JAMB
Ipod criminals

No wonder they always bring out the highest scores... JAMB should review all the JAMB results for Anambra state for the last decades.... and deflate them all...

ok

That's good

They are the true blood of the soil; not bastards, that's how their brothers and sisters are developing Nigeria in and outside the country.

Over 10,000 Candidates Caught Cheating In Anambra- JAMB

It is not a surprise to other Nigerians anymore that the highest prevalence of Exam malpractices in the entire nation is in the SOUTH EAST.
Thats why majority of them who call themselves so called university graduates will still call Aeroplane "Elloprane" and believe that Russia comes to Nkpor to buy Nuclear missiles.

We also caught Pipo cheating in my centre, in the North but the Jamb officials wud beg Us not to report it as Monitors, and as a guy who doesnt wanna be a reason for anoda's failure, I just let it slide....
