Writing via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @GideonAnyebe1, shared a photo of the alleged UTME question and he wrote this:
“Why do we have this kind of double answer? Can I get an explanation please, and possible solutions”
Reacting to the alleged UTME question with double answers, JAMB said the photo is not its test delivery candidate’s view.
The examination body, however, said even if the photo was the UTME question the X user will have some questions to answer.
JAMB asked how the candidate was able to the picture after being warned not to take any form of electronic gadget to the Computer Based Test (CBT) centre.
“This is not JAMB’s test delivery candidate’s view. Even if it were, you may have some questions to answer. How did you take the picture after being warned not to visit the UTME centre with any form of electronic gadget?
Nigerians react
@Thelawrett
He has some serious questions to answer, it’s part of the rules, no electronic gadgets so the question is how do you take this picture.
@lukman_labaran
Some candidates entered with their smartphones in the exam hall because I see maney people with the pictures of their questions. Jamb has to take action on their agency for allowing exam Mal practice.
@nnaomastan92
It is certainly a Jamb test. Any Nigerian who has ever sat for this exam must have seen double answers like this during exam. It is common with Jamb. The only problem here is, how did he take the picture since nobody is allowed to enter the exam hall with gadget?
@Jokey_kr
I met this question
But no vex
How did the person snap this question..
Even from the view
It seems to be a screenshot
@Esteem_Boy
It will be unreasonable to begin to question why or how this person got this picture forgetting the issue that leads to this.
The first thing we should demand is if truly this was on JAMB portal then after that we can then prosecute this person for violating the rules.
@j_chinemerem
@JAMBHQ To the best of my knowledge, this is an app for studying. Not the Exam.
What to do if you miss UTME examination
Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that JAMB said UTME candidates who were late to the CBT centre won’t be rescheduled.
The examination body, however, said UTME candidates who missed the exam due to an accident or illness can be rescheduled.
JAMB said sick UTME candidates can be rescheduled if they inform the Board officially prior to the scheduled time for the exam
