A total of seven Computer Based Test (CBT) centes are
now under investigation by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB)
in the south eastern part of the country, reports ITRealms.
Out of the seven,
four of the centres are located in Abia State, two in Anambra State and
one in Imo State.
JAMB also gave ITRealms the names of these centres to
include Doreen Institute of Computer Technologies, Umuahia, Abia State,
National Comprehensive Secondary School, Near 7-Up Plant, Obingwa LGA, Abia
State, Makac Global Intergrated Services
Nig Ltd, Asa Road, Aba, Abia State and Pius Comprehensive Secondary School,
Umuigwe-Amakama, Umuahia South L.G.A., Abia State .
Others are Prince Chums Global - Community Secontary
School, Isuofia and Bintels Global Services, which is the Centre for Computer
Education. While the last of the seven is Land Resources Technology, Owerri,
Imo State.
ITRealms also report that JAMB during the just
concluded rescheduled (mop-up) examination, in spite of all admonitions for
centres to ensure that facilities work to required standards, the Board could
not conduct smooth and flawless examination in certain centres where the
examination had to be conducted.
The Centres concerned are hereby advised to work
towards enhancing their efficiency if they wish to be retained for the Board
subsequent activities. Whenever the concerned centres are satisfied that they
have fixed their problems, they are to do the following immediately:
1. Invite the Board for inspection of their facilities
which is not the same as accreditation exercise.
2. On the agreed day for the inspection, the centre
should invite students commensurate to the capacity of the centre for a trial
testing of the centre at full capacity.
3. The centre will run a trial test examination for
two hours and this must be conducted smoothly without any hitch.
4. All facilities of the centres including the
computer systems, cooling systems, CCTV Cameras, generating sets, backup
inverters or UPS and other requirements would be put to test during the
exercise.
5. The Centre must provide adequate security for such
exercise.
6. The exercise would be observed by an Independent
Technical Advisor chosen by the Board.
At the end of the exercise, and depending on the
assessment of the Board and the Independent Technical Advisor, the verdict of
the Centre’s suitability would be communicated to the Centre and it would
determine whether any of the concerned centres would be allowed to participate
in the Board’s future activities.
