Jamb Mock Exam 2018
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board
(JAMB), has said it will conduct its optional
mock examination in January.
The board made this disclosure in a statement
signed by its Head of Media, Mr Fabian
Benjamin and made available to the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.
“As we prepare for the 2018 examinations,
beginning with the optional mock, we urge
candidates to register on time, make clear their
choices of institutions, disciplines and
examination centres in the process.
“Candidates must note that their first choice
can be a College of Education, a university, an
Innovation Enterprise Institution, a polytechnic
or a monotechnic.
“Others include, the Nigerian Defence Academy
or the Police Academy.
“We will conduct a better examination, ensure
more transparent admission and make more
remittances to the government”, he said.
The board, which described 2017 as year of
transformation to success with the support of
stakeholders, added that 2017 was its most
eventful year so far.
“In 2017, the board conducted one of the most
transparent, inclusive and acceptable
examinations with the least incidence of
malpractices.
“We invested significantly in the development
of intellectual structures, examination
infrastructure and human human resources.
“This will propel more development in 2018 and
put the board in the position to compete
favourably with any public institution; globally,
be it an examination body or service agency”,
he added.
The board also noted that while it had opened
its “entire functionality to public participation
and scrutiny”, it had been able to adopt some
of the suggestions made by the public, which it
said, had helped “to build the new JAMB”.
It promised to sustain and make better the
entire process in 2018, noting that the success
of its Central Admission Processing System
(CAPS) portal helped to achieve success.
“Candidates were exposed to the new
admission software to check admission
excesses and our aim is to ensure that no
candidate is unjustly treated.
“The only way to achieve this was to open the
process up for everybody to see who is
admitted, with what aggregate score, and who
is not and why is he or she was not admitted.
“Also, candidates were able to use the CAPS
window to monitor admissions into institutions
of choice to ensure that they are not cheated”.
“We will continue to do everything possible to
support the drive of this administration towards
excellence”, he said.
