This is to inform all prospective candidates sitting for the 2017 UTME exams that the Computer Based Test (CBT) examination time may be reduced to two hours instead of three hours, this was stated by the JAMB Registrar Prof. Is-haq Oloyede on Wednesday.
Oloyede further stated that question papers will be uploaded five minutes to the examinations in order to check malpractice and questions leakage.
He made this known during the Strategic Planning retreat on Supervision and Evaluation of 2017 UTME examinations.
He said; “As for the 2017 UTME, it is likely we reduce the duration of the examinations because no students sits for an examination for more than 2 hours which is also in line with the international best standards and practices.
“We are looking at 2 hours for the examinations instead of the present 3 hours timeline.”
“As for the candidates, for their age, the maximum time they can sit for examinations is 2 hours. Even in terms of international standard, for primary school pupils, the maximum time for examinations is between 45 minutes and 1 hour.”
