Candidates Sitting for the Unified Tertiary and Matriculation
Examinations (UTME) in Bauchi, say they are fully prepared for the
examination.
They told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday
that they had undergone computer lessons to enable them sit for the
examination, as such they would face no challenges using the computer.
One
of the students, Martins Madaki, told NAN that he enrolled for a six
months computer training just to be effectively prepared for the
examination.
“I enrolled for computer training the moment I
learnt that JAMB examinations will be computer-based, and that the
paper-pencil test (PPT), as well as the dual based test (DBT) that were
earlier in use, had been cancelled.
“I did not want lack of
computer knowledge to stand on my way, since computer has become the
only channel through which students could secure admission to tertiary
institution.
“I am very confident to say that I am well prepared
for the examination; I have studied hard acquired the necessary skills
in Information Technology, as such, ready for the examination, “he said.
Another
student, Aisha Adamu, also said she had undergone computer training in
one of the computer training centres in the state.
“It was
announced that this year’s JAMB would be strictly computer-based, so any
student who did not prepare should have himself to blame if he fails
the examination for lack of computer knowledge.
The story was the same for Abubakar Isa, who told NAN that he would be writing the examination for the second time.
According
to him, students have no choice but to acquire computer knowledge if
they hope to secure admission into tertiary institutions.
It
would be recall that JAMB) had earlier announced that the 2015 UTME
would be computer-based, with about 1.4 million registered candidates
expected to sit for the examinations nationwide.
The examination is scheduled to hold nationwide from March 10, to March 21 in 400 centres. (NAN)
