Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has disclosed that it will no longer give accreditation to CBT centres that do not have laptops. JAMB Registrar, Prof. Is’haq Oloyede, who addressed journalists in Lagos, explained that the new guideline was to address incessant power failure during the test.
He stated that existing centres with desktop computers could continue provided they install Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) during the test.
Oloyede said: “Power has been disrupting the examination and to address this, we are not going to register any centre using desktop computers. Every new CBT centre must have laptops before they can be accredited.”
Oloyede debunked claims that the body would not conduct the 2023 UTME due to disruption to the academic calendar of universities.
