The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board on Monday says it will not entertain the rescheduling of the ongoing examination for any candidate who misses his/her scheduled time in any of its centres, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
Stephen Ignatius, the supervising board’s official at the Digital Bridge Institute, Oshodi, Lagos State, said any candidate who absented himself or herself from the examination would not be allowed to retake the examination, except such a request is supported with genuine evidence.
According to Ignatius, many candidates have been taking the rescheduling of the examination for granted by coming whenever it suits them.
He said JAMB would no longer tolerate such indiscipline from any candidate.
Meanwhile, NAN observed that a candidate, who was supposed to write the Computer Based Test in the first batch at the Digital Bridge centre, but only showed up during the second batch, was disallowed by the invigilators.
The student told NAN: “I wanted my centre to be in a school somewhere in Oshodi, but I discovered lately that I was posted to Digital Bridge centre.
“So, I decided to go to my preferred centre, but I was not allowed to sit for the test.
“That was why I came back to Digital Bridge to write the second batch, but I was also not allowed to write.”
NAN reports that the examination at the institute went on smoothly with 339 out of the 350 candidates approved as the first batch showed up at the centre.
Ignatius said 20 candidates were absent during the second batch of the examination.
Each of the two batches lasted two hours and 30 minutes.
