simplyolat The National Examinations
Council (NECO) on Monday said
that it was concluding plans to
migrate from the Paper-
Pencil-Test mode to the
Computer Based Test (CBT) mode
for its objective examinations.
The registrar of the council,
Prof. Abdulrashid Garba, told the
News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) in Lagos. NAN reports that
the management of the
council had, in 2015, announced
plans to adopt the CBT
mode for its objective questions.
According to him,
migrating into the CBT will make
the examination less
cumbersome but be cost
effective. “We have almost
finalised
the procedure on the CBT mode
for our objective
examinations. “As soon as we
have a governing board in
place, the plan will be tabled
before it for discussion and
approval. How soon this is
achieved, depends on the Federal
Government. “We are, equally,
working toward a complete
migration to the CBT for all our
examinations. “It is not easy
to conduct theoretical, practical
and oral components of our
examinations. “We are, however,
currently talking with some
private firms on the possibility of
using CBT mode for those
other examinations,’’ Garba said.
