JAMB UTME Candidates Laments Lack Of Answers In CBT Exam Options.
The ongoing JAMB Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, UTME, which started last Saturday is still throwing up some flaws as candidates are complaining over lack of answers to questions in the English Language paper.
In the computer based test monitored in Lagos, a candidate writing at YabaTech, said that apart from the server failure experienced during the test, some of the questions on English Language does not have the correct options listed.
Collaborating the claim, another candidate at the same centre said “Questions 11-20 of English Language were incorrect as the answers were not on the options. We only pray and hope this would be taken into consideration so as not to negatively affect our scores.”
In his reaction, the Public Relations Officer of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, said the portion in question is the comprehension part whereby they have to fill in the gaps.
He said “You know these students are in a hurry to finish and most of them don’t take their time to go through the questions. Even some candidates in one of the centers I visited pointed out that to me and I had to explain to them that in comprehension, you have to fill in the gaps.
“I can assure you that JAMB didn’t make any mistake when setting the questions”, he added.
