Advantages of visiting an Accredited CBT Centre Over Cyber Cafés in Rivers State
Although some services offered in CBT Centres are available in cyber cafés also, however, below are a few reasons why CBT centres preferred over cyber cafés:
- Cost of Services: The fees charged by JAMB accredited CBT Centres in Rivers State which is also true for all other states in the federation are set and regularized/controlled by the Joint Admission Matriculation Board (JAMB), while services the fees charged by Cyber café owners are not controlled explicitly by the board. This often times give room for cyber café owners and workers to extort or overcharge candidates for services.
- Higher tendency of an Error-free registration: All CBT centres across the state offer standardized services, which means their type and quality of services are consistent from centre to centre, while Cyber cafés may have varying reliability and quality of service. In addition, JAMB CBT centres only offer JAMB-related services and their staff are particularly trained for them, while cyber cafés owners and workers render services of different kinds to people with varying needs other than JAMB. For this reason, a mistake is highly probable in a Café than in an accredited CBT Centre.
- Quality control: JAMB accredited CBT centres in Rivers State are regularly scrutinized and inspected to ensure that they keep up with the standards set by the examination board, which is not so for cyber cafés.
- Wider range of services: Cyber cafés only offer a fraction of the services offered by accredited CBT Centres. It is best advised to visit an accredited CBT centre in the state for any service pertaining UTME also because a CBT centre have trained officials who will proffer help and offer solutions to any challenge faced regarding UTME registration process.
