The Joint Admissions and Matriculation board (JAMB) has said the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination will be conducted using the Computer-Based method from next year onward with the aim of totally phasing out paper-based examinations.
The Director, Test Administration of the Board, Mr Yusuf Lawan, made this known in Abuja recently while conducting a computer-based advocacy test for 140 secondary school students drawn from 14 schools in Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He said the aim of the exercise was to use the feedback to improve the system before next year.
He added that the board was trying its best ensure that the test doesn't discriminate against people in rural areas as all their concerns and problem encountered in such places last year and this year will be taken into account.
Mr. Lawan revealed that the paper test this year will be conducted on the 12th of April while the Computer-Based Test will hold for two weeks starting from the 17th of May.
