Jamb To Deploy New Exam Questions For Each Batch Of Candidates

The Joint Admission and Matriculation board (JAMB) has disclosed that it has put a new innovation in place that will enable it deploy enough questions for the JAMB exam for all the candidates writing on a particular day.

This was disclosed by JAMB’s Head of Information, JAMB, Dr Fabian.

He explained that in previous years the board can only deploy questions once in a day.

So even if there are three batches of candidates (morning, afternoon and evening) writing the examination on the same day, they have to answer the same questions. But this is no longer the case.

According to him, if we have three sessions or batches, we will deploy three times; this is a new innovation to ensure that even the person at the centre does not compromise the sanctity of the examination.

He equally mentioned that so far, about 1.3 million candidates have registered for the examination billed to hold between May 13 and 20.
