The
Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Monday says it will not
entertain the rescheduling of the ongoing examination for any candidate
who misses his/her scheduled time in any of its centres, the News Agency
of Nigeria reports.
Stephen Ignatius, the supervising board’s
official at the Digital Bridge Institute, Oshodi, Lagos State, said any
candidate who absented himself or herself from the examination would not
be allowed to retake the examination, except such a request is
supported with genuine evidence.
According to Ignatius, many
candidates have been taking the rescheduling of the examination for
granted by coming whenever it suits them.
He said JAMB would no longer tolerate such indiscipline from any candidate.
Meanwhile,
NAN observed that a candidate, who was supposed to write the Computer
Based Test in the first batch at the Digital Bridge centre, but only
showed up during the second batch, was disallowed by the invigilators.
The
student told NAN: “I wanted my centre to be in a school somewhere in
Oshodi, but I discovered lately that I was posted to Digital Bridge
centre.
“So, I decided to go to my preferred centre, but I was not allowed to sit for the test.
“That was why I came back to Digital Bridge to write the second batch, but I was also not allowed to write.”
NAN
reports that the examination at the institute went on smoothly with 339
out of the 350 candidates approved as the first batch showed up at the
centre.
Ignatius said 20 candidates were absent during the second batch of the examination.
Each of the two batches lasted two hours and 30 minutes.
