The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has
debunked reports of error in the scoring of candidates in the just concluded
2022 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME).
The board warned the public especially candidates of the
last UTME to be wary of the guile and other unsavoury activities of fraudsters
who were making false claims of errors in the scoring system.
Dr Fabian Benjamin, Head, Public Affairs and Protocol of the
board made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on
Tuesday.
Benjamin said the board was, therefore, maintaining for the
umpteenth time, that the UTME was a Computer Based Test (CBT) that was scored
electronically with no human mediation whatsoever.
“Consequently, the unfounded rumours making the rounds are
nothing but the products of the deceitful brains of the masterminds of these
baseless imputations.
“Hence, the Board reiterates that there is no room for
errors in its electronic scoring system nor does it plan to organise another
UTME.
“This clarification became necessary following reports of a
purported rescheduling of the UTME from a section of the social media citing
phantom errors in the computer scoring system and a purported apology from JAMB
to the effect that another UTME would be organised.
“The board wishes to state that the report is not only false
and mischievous but also misleading and crafted out of the frustration and
inability of these fraudsters to dupe unsuspecting candidates owing to the
series of innovative strategies the board had put in place to protect
candidates,” he said.
Benjamin also recalled that the board had envisaged some of
the strategies of these nefarious individuals and had sounded a note of warning
to the candidates and the general public alike.
”This is to preclude the possibilities of them falling
victims of the evil machinations of fraudsters.
“JAMB, once again, advises the general public to disregard
this item of news as it does not emanate from JAMB nor has it authorised any
individual or group to make such a pronouncement on its behalf.
“The board, therefore, advises candidates to avail themselves of its user-friendly advisories on assessing their 2022 UTME results and other processes through periodic visits to its web site.
