JAMB Gives Code Of Conduct To Candidates Ahead Of 2022 UTME
Onyxnewsng reports that JAMB has issued a code of conduct to candidates sitting for the forthcoming 2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination(UTME) slated to hold between 6th and 14th May 2022.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has reminded prospective candidates of the need to adhere strictly to examination etiquette, warning that a stiff penalty awaits anyone who runs foul of the laid-down rules and regulations governing the examination.
The Board reiterated its zero-tolerance for examination infractions and other unwholesome practices that could undermine the sanctity of its examination.
According to the statement, the Board maintained that, as a responsible organization, it is as usual, committed to providing a level playing field for all candidates in its upcoming 2022 UTME.
The Head, Public Affairs and Protocols (PAP), Dr. Fabi a Benjamin, while fielding questions from journalists in Abuja on the code of conduct expected of UTME candidates and the level of the Board’s preparations for the examination said, ”The Board’s UTME, apart from being a medium for assessing candidates’ ability, is also used to rank their performance in a cohort of aspirants for tertiary education.”
He added that the UTME, as a standardized test, is guided by rules and regulations that must be strictly followed by both the examiners and examinees to arrive at a valid and specific objective.
He stated further, “Examination etiquette is encapsulated in the candidates’ code of conduct comprising rules and regulations that must be followed by all candidates before, during, and after the examination.”
He advised the candidates to strictly adhere to the examination schedule as stated in their notification slips which would be made available in due course and would feature the venue, scheduled date, session, and time of the examination.
Dr. Benjamin urged all candidates to be at their examination venues at least an hour before the scheduled time so as to afford them the opportunity of going through biometric verification prior to their admittance into the examination hall. He said any candidate who is 30 minutes late into the examination venue would not be allowed into the examination hall.
Continuing, he said, “all candidates are required to be seated only in the allotted seats assigned to them and should follow the instructions as issued out to them by the examination officials and should not attempt to leave the examination hall until one hour after the commencement of the examination.”
The Board’s spokesman reminded the candidates that electronic gadgets and other unauthorized materials like eyeglasses unless recommended; USB, fez caps, calculators, tape recorders, cameras, wrist watches, bangles, cell phones, among others, are banned within the examination hall.
