According to JAMB, CCTV cameras and electronic jammers will be installed across all CBT centres in the country to deactivate mobile networks.
JAMB has also announced that all lens detectors will also be made available in all centres to check all eyeglasses.
JAMB candidates at the exam centres during the previously held Unified Tertiary Matriculation Exams.
Due to these new strategies, the Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board has banned and warned candidates from coming to
centres with these items.
1. Wristwatches.
JAMB says it has discovered that during the conduct
of the 2017 UTME, electronic devices including wristwatches and other
devices were used to perpetrate examination malpractice.
“So, for next year, (2018) we have banned the use of
wristwatches and pens by candidates and other persons in the examination
hall. JAMB said.
2. Writing materials
There is no need to go to exam hall with pens,
pencils, erasers, and sharpeners since the Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination is now computer based.
3. Spectacles
Any candidates going for the 2018 UTME is not expected to wear spectacles as JAMB listed eyeglasses as part of the banned items.
This according to JAMB Registrar, Prof Is-haq Oloyede is the reason the exam body install lens detector in all CBT centres.
He said, “the lens detectors will also be made
available at all centres to find out the status of all eyeglasses if a
candidate or anyone must go in with it.
4. Mobile phone
Your mobile phone too is not allowed to be taken to
the CBT centres. According to JAMB, your phones will be deactivated if
you bring it to the exam hall.
To all the CBT centres, the rule this year is that
electronic jammers will be installed across all the centres to
deactivate all mobile phone networks because we have seen what many of
them have done with phones and other electronic tools”
5. Calculators
Just like other electronic devices, JAMB has banned the use of calculators in the UTME exam hall.
