He said that the screening exercise has been reportedly peaceful and candidates have been comporting themselves in orderly manner.

Some parents, however, complained that requirements to sit for the CBT test should be spelt out to candidates in the future, saying that so many candidates were disturbed when asked to produce certain documents before they could sit for the test.

They urged the institution’s management to provide adequate transportation into and outside the university campus, saying that large population of candidates and their guardians had compounded transportation challenge.
