He also noted that in addition to the registration fee, candidates will be
expected to pay additional N500 for a copy of a newly introduced
textbook, ‘The Last Days at Forcados High School’, adding that the
Board has made arrangement to provide the book to avoid the challenge
of availability and piracy and that the textbooks will be issued at the
point of registration.
According to the JAMB Spokesman, the Board has also introduced a
regulated registration format where only our Computer-Based Test,
CBT, centers and state offices nationwide are authorised to register
candidates.

“The idea of a regulated registration centre is to prevent situations
where candidates are exploited and to check impersonation, including
other acts of malpractices”, he said.
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), through its
registrar recently stated that candidates who were not computer
literate would not be allowed to write any examination coordinated by
the board from 2015. Although, the board had embarked on the
establishment of computer test centres across the country to prepare
students for all its examinations, many are still of the opinion that
mandating candidates to write a computer-based test (CBT) may not be
feasible.
