The Director of Technology and Science Education, Mrs Patricia Ogungbemi, who represented the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, monitored the exercise and encouraged candidates to embrace technical and vocational education as a pathway to innovation, entrepreneurship, self-reliance, and job creation.
She also highlighted the opportunities available to graduates of technical colleges, noting that they benefit from hands-on, industry-relevant training as well as government-supported programmes aimed at boosting employment and economic development.
The statement explained that a pilot CBT session was conducted after the traditional examination to assess preparedness for a future transition to a fully computer-based testing system.
It added that the successful conduct of both the written and CBT components reflects the Federal Government’s commitment to digital transformation, improved assessment integrity, and quality technical education.
The CBT initiative is part of broader efforts to digitalise entrance examinations in Nigeria, aligning with ongoing reforms in examinations conducted by bodies such as the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the National Examinations Council (NECO).
