The Registrar of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, has ordered all accredited Computer-Based Test (CBT) centres nationwide to bar parents and guardians from entering registration and examination halls.
Why Parents Were Barred From CBT Centres
- In a statement signed by JAMB's Spokesperson in the Ilorin Zonal Office, Mr. Hassan Lawal, following an inspection of overcrowded CBT centres in Kwara State, the Registrar noted that parents and guardians were crowding registration halls, distracting candidates and operators, and violating health and security protocols.
- Warning Against Rushing Underage (14 & 15-Year-Old) Pupils: Prof. Oloyede also cautioned parents against rushing 14- and 15-year-old children into UTME registration and university admission pressure before they reach the statutory minimum age, calling on State Ministries of Education to enforce proper age verification at the point of secondary school entry.
Candidates can build independent confidence for their CBT registration and examination by practicing on the Mentra JAMB CBT app, available on both Android and iOS.
