Problem is not from JAMB, it is from the fact that Nigeria does not have sufficent infrastructure to support a nationwide internet broadband service.

JAMB should go back to paper exams. Until we get there.

Electricity failure, poor internet mars exercise in Ibadan

Electricity failure and poor internet connection stalled the smooth conduct of the UTME at the Information Communication Technology (ICT) centre of the Polytechnic Ibadan, as many candidates experienced difficulties during the exercise.

Sunday Tribune gathered that the ICT edifice, which was to host three sets of candidates for the UTME examination at its two centers (centre 1 and 2), only had a smooth exercise at centre 1, while system malfunction causing a serious hiccup at the second centre.

In bid to rectify the problem, the UTME officials swiftly conveyed hundreds of affected candidates to the University of Ibadan CBT centre in two buses, Sunday Tribune gathered.

Sunday Tribune learnt that the hiccups also caused delay for more than an hour, as electricity reportedly went off for 30 minutes, precisely, from 10 a.m. to 10.30 a.m.

The development was said to have made the centre rowdy as candidates as well as parents and guardians raised eyebrow on the development.

Speaking to Sunday Tribune, a furious candidate said “the JAMB officials and the management at large are unfair to us. Though they know that the centre doesn’t have what it takes to carry out the exercise, yet they still brought us here. I hope these problems won’t affect my result.”

An embittered official also lamented the technical hitch, saying “despite several efforts and assurance from the authorities of the tertiary institution to carry out a hitch-free exercise, technical hitches still occurred where some candidates had to be taken elsewhere to write their examination.”

It was gathered that candidates also experienced a similar problem during the recently held mock UTME examination in the centre, with candidates having to leave the centre at 10 p.m.

At the second centre in the same institution,....

How much i wish for JAMB to be scrapped and let each institution set entrance exams or screening hurdles for their students. How many foreign universities engage in unified exams bf d children of our yam eaters gain admission? But here, a Zamfara boy with 180 will be given "Medicine" in OAU under d guise of Education Less Privilege States (ELPS); while an Oyo guy with 260 will not be considered.

Radaada!

least you can get in UTME to be qualified to study any course in OAU is 200... Stop making it sound like it's that worse, ELDS is not particular to OAU alone. There's nothing anyone can do about that!

Nigeria is just a series of good intentions with poor execution. Computerization is great, heck it is the future, but the basic infrastructure like power and internet need to be 100% in place and with multiple redundancies before we can fully go digital.
