Report reaching us stated that the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board, JAMB may soon end the use of scratch cards
for JAMB registration and result checking.
This was disclosed on Tuesday by the JAMB registrar, prof Ishaq Oloyede in a meeting with the National Executive Council of the Non-Academic Staff Union (NASU) in Abuja.
According to him, this policy will likely be implemented as from next year 2017.
He added that once this becomes effective, students would no longer need to purchase any card but would be able to generate a PIN number for themselves from simply using their mobile phones or computers before registering for the examination.
He frowned at situations whereby banks and vendors hoard the cards, only to sell them at a higher price.
He equally urged members of NASU to partake in the ownership of Computer-Based Testing Centres, saying those who own the centres are businessmen merely exploiting students.
He also used the opportunity to reiterate his commitment on reducing examination malpractice to the bearest minimum.
