JAMB Cancel Using Of Scratch Card To Register Or Check Results;See new Method

The Joint Admission and
Matriculation Board (JAMB), will
soon stop the use of scratch cards for registration and checking of results.

This was disclosed JAMB Registrar
Prof. Ishaq Oloyode on Tuesday at
the National Executive Council
meeting of the Non-Academic Staff
Union (NASU) in Abuja.

According to him this will likely
become effective from 2017.

He added that once this becomes
effective, students would generate a
PIN number for themselves from
their phone or computers before
registering for examinations.

He frowned at situations whereby
banks and vendors hoard the cards,
only to sell them at a higher price.

He equally charged NASU members
to involve in the ownership of
Computer-Based Testing Centres,
saying those who own the centres are businessmen merely exploiting
students.
