In a latest development on campus, Ede poly has suspended Computer-Based Test (CBT) exams for students.
Over the years, students of the Polytechnic have always been compelled to face series of challenges during the course of their exams, most notably CBT exams as students struggle to steal their way into the computer centers to sit.
Pathetically, the case repeated itself today while students slated to have their exams 9am trooped to the center, queued up in mass until a crisis brewed among the students which disrupted the serene atmosphere early visible among the students.
PRESS correspondent who was at the scene sighted a few students run helter skelter due to the unfortunate raucous.
However, this has prompted the management to today suspend CBT examination for 2019/2020 first semester examination till further notice.
The decision which was reached at the CBT centre at south campus is traced to disorderliness of the outrageous number of students who are eager, willing and ready to sit for exam without following due protocol laid down by the coordinators. Although the managerial fault have a heavy hand in this pitiable and lamentable circumstance.
At the venue, the PRESS correspondent gathered that many students whose CBT exam is scheduled to hold by 9am are yet to sit for the exam as at 11:30am.
In an interview with a student who appear frustrated, she said, "I arrived this venue at exactly 7:35am despite the fact that my exam is scheduled for 9am, it is so disheartening and heartbreaking that till this moment (11:15am) the hope of sitting for the exam is far, reason behind my solemn relaxation under this tree"
"As at the time I arrived, the CBT centre is locked and no traces of staff except the security officer, the centre was opened fully past 9am, what a proper planning by the management (ironical)" she lament.
Another student when interviewed pour the blame of outrageous number of students which resulted to disorderliness on the faulty timetable, "how can they scheduled four (4) departments to have CBT exam at the same time when they know that the computer system available cannot cater for them all at the same time? blame not the students but the management, am not marvel by the youth exorbitant displayed here" she submitted.
A correspondent of the PRESS overheard the lamentation of a lecturer at the venue, He said "It is so sadden that the so called leaders of tomorrow had lost discipline and moral training, students now have the audacity to question and disrespect Deputy Rector even when they are striving hard to set things right for them(students). I can't imagine a high level of indiscipline Ede now tolerate compared to the past when suspension used to be served as sachet water to students who behave unruly"
"We need to revisit the students handbook and enforce a more effective penalty for students caught in the act of indiscipline before it gets out of hand" she submitted out of frustration.
