Jamb Removes Scratchcard Platform & Many More

Jamb promised to fix date for this year Jamb exams soon

Jamb gives reason, why the delay on 2017 exams

Jamb Removes Scratched Card Platform, the registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Professor Ishaq Oloyede, said the examinations will be coming up later than usual as part of steps to check malpractices.
He said the forms for this year’s UTME will be on sale within two weeks.

B). The examinations will be conducted in May and will not clash with any SSCE examinations.
C). The new date was agreed upon by all examination bodies after going through their timetables.
D). The new timing of the UTME was to check any form of malpractice, especially upgrading of results.
E). JAMB has scrapped the use of scratch cards because UTME candidates were being extorted.
F). The agency has handed over 10 officials to the police for investigation in connection with fraud associated with sales of scratch cards.
A number of 1.7million are expected to sit for UTME this year (about 1.5million candidates for UTME and about 200,000 and 300,000 candidates for Direct Entry).
You will recall, how the agency caught up with hackers who hijacked the Jamb forms before the end of 2016/2017, the internet hackers sold about 5000 forms online before they were arrested.
Meanwhile, candidates and parents were disappointed over the alleged development by the fraudsters and thank God for their apprehension, this are some of the issues the agency are trying to re-addressed before an adequate date is fixed for the exams
