JAMB Explains Why Some Candidates Did Not Partake In Mock Exam
;
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that out of the 258,000
candidates that applied to partake in the 2018 JAMB Mock exam held yesterday,
only 211,000 candidates took part.

According to the JAMB Registrar,
this was due to insufficient space to accommodate interested students in some
of the computer-based centres across the nation.
He mentioned that it was not like
the board could not allow all the candidates partake in the exam. However, due
to the fact that centres are not evenly spread in all the states and in some
states the number of candidates exceeded the number of facilities available in
that case it is only logical for JAMB to pick just the number that the
facilities within a town or state can accommodate.
The registrar said there would not
be ‘mop-up’ for candidates noting that “its either the candidates write the
exam or do not do the exam”.
He expressed satisfaction over the
conduct of the mock exam as out of the 602 centres being used, only six of
the centres had challenges.
Similarly, the registrar said books
or any reading/writing material, cameras, recorders, microphones, ear pieces,
ink/pen readers, smart lenses, smart rings/jewelry, smart buttons and Bluetooth
devices will not be allowed into the centres.
The registrar said the prohibition
of materials is applicable to candidates, supervisors and examiners.
