Meanwhile, JAMB registrar Prof. Ishaq Oloyode on Friday appealed to candidates who experienced glitches in the course of the examination to remain calm as they would be rescheduled to take the exam.

Oloyode directed owners of computer-based centres (CBT) to get parents seen near the examination halls arrested, alleging that in most cases they aid malpractices.
