The Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has urged candidates who faced technical difficulties during the 2024 UTME to remain calm and avoid panicking. He assured them that the board would reschedule the exam for those affected by the glitches.
Prof. Oloyede, who spoke after monitoring the exam in Kogo-Bwari, Abuja, reported that the UTME had been mostly successful, with only one center encountering issues so far. He acknowledged that technical problems might occur in about 10% of centers due to varying levels of development across the country.
The registrar emphasized the importance of not disrupting others when issues arise and noted that affected candidates would be rescheduled for later sessions, even if it means scheduling them for the following day.
Prof. Oloyede also expressed his displeasure over the practice of awarding scholarships solely based on UTME performance, without considering other admission criteria.
