The ongoing Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), was largely hitch-free across monitored centers in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Tuesday.
A NAN correspondent who visited some Computer-Based Test, CBT centers reports that candidates commenced their examinations as scheduled, with minimal technical complaints.
At the Arc Bamidele Samson CBT Centre, a candidate, Miss Adebanke Oyedele, who arrived at about 9.00 a.m., described her experience as smooth and engaging.
“I started on time, and the examination was very interesting. For me, there was no complaint, though I noticed some others raising concerns,” she said.
Oyedele, who aspires to study Mass Communication at the University of Ibadan, projected a score of about 250.
Similarly, Mr Agwaza Simon expressed satisfaction with the examination’s conduct.
“There was no system failure or network issue. Everything went well,” she said, adding that she hopes to study Accounting at the University of Ibadan.
Another candidate, Mr Isak Sherifu, described the examination environment as peaceful and well-organised, noting the absence of technical glitches and commending officials for their professionalism.
Also, Miss Ayomide Busari noted that her examination went smoothly without any network issues, adding that she intends to study Law at the University of Ibadan.
A parent, Mrs Olubunmi Komolafe, who accompanied her daughter to the CBT center, confirmed that the exercise was orderly.
“I arrived before 9.00 a.m., and my daughter started a little after 9.00 a.m.
“Everything has been peaceful, and there are no issues with the internet,” she said.
Attempts to speak with a JAMB ad-hoc supervisor at the Arc Bamidele Samson CBT Centre were unsuccessful, as he said he was not authorized to speak with journalists.
At the JAMB Zonal Office in Ibadan, candidates also began their examinations as scheduled, without any technical glitch whatsoever.
