The Joint Admissions and Matriculation
Board (JAMB) still maintained its directive
that no candidate would be allowed to
come into the exam hall with electronic
devices in the forthcoming mock
examinations and 2019 Unified Tertiary
Matriculation Examination (UTME).
JAMB’s Weekly Bulletin released in Abuja on
Sunday, February 17, 2019, contains the
list of prohibited Items that won’t be
allowed into any of its centres during this
year’s examination. The items are:
Electronic devices such as:
mobile phones
calculators
wristwatches
recorders
spy reading glasses
cameras
ear piece
bluetooth devices
USB
CD
hard disk and other similar storage
devices
pen/biro
smart lenses
books or any reading/writing material
ink/pen readers
key holders
ATM cards
erasers
smart rings/jewelries
The bulletin partly states: “to ensure that
the board’s examinations meet best global
practice, the Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board has prohibited the use
of the following items during
examinations.
“Candidates are hereby advised in their
best interest not to bring these items close
to the examination venue. Any breach of
this directive would bar the candidates
from taking the examination.”
JAMB’s spokesperson, Dr. Fabian Benjamin
disclosed that some candidates who
breached the directive and brought some
of the devices to the hall last year were
caught and handed over to security
agencies.
